Media Advisory - "Rail of Light" Fuels Diesel-Electric Issue at Scotiabank
Nuit Blanche
Massive Chandeliers to Light Electric Train Debut in West Toronto
TORONTO, Sept. 30 /CNW/ -
Who: | Toronto-based artists Richard Mongiat and Jeff Winch, and the Junction Triangle Rail Committee |
What: | Rail of Light will see the Wallace Avenue Footbridge transformed into a huge, sparkling chandelier. Every three minutes, the whoosh of an electric train racing by in the darkness - quiet, clean, efficient - will add an atmospheric layer to an exhibit that imagines public policy possibilities. |
When: | Saturday, October 2, 20100 6:57 p.m. to sunrise |
Where: | Wallace Avenue Pedestrian Bridge |
(Directly Above the Airport Link/ Georgetown Go Rail Corridor) 374 Wallace Avenue (Bloor/Dundas) Zone A, Independent Project # 26 MAP | |
Why: | The Junction Triangle celebrates the arts as part of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche while increasing awareness of the massive expansion of diesel trains through the neighbourhood. Surrounded by train tracks on all sides, the Junction Triangle is situated at the epicentre of rail activity in West Toronto and faces the greatest impact from expansion plans now under construction. |
