Barricades



Our "Barricades" project from Saturday nights Nuit Blanche event was one of the top pics from this Toronto Star review. Good shit.

"Farther down, glaring lights just south of Queen were both blinding and an irresistible draw into “Barricades,” a corridor of yellow caution tape walling in a pinwheel of blue cop barricades arranged into a makeshift sculpture.

Echoes of G20 chaos rung loudly, even as people took playful photographs in the web of the tape, but this work, by Jeremy Jansen and Niall McClelland, became my unexpected favourite: Dull, bright surveillance glare piquing irresistible curiosity, it epitomized the urge to be somewhere you shouldn’t. "

The whole night was good, really intense having a million(supposedly...) people walking downtown and funneling through the project.
