Model for a Public Space (speaker)
Various artists
A night of site-specific performances, public discussions, and interactive workshops within the Model for a Public Space (speaker) installation in Grange Park which will emphasize not only the diverse creativity of musicians within our communities, but also the notion of improvisation as social practice. For Nuit Blanche, The Music Gallery and the Association of Improvising Musicians of Toronto will work to highlight the relationship between creative, collaborative music, and social, artistic and political dialogue more generally. The music itself will draw from many informing styles and genres, and will embrace various media including acoustic and electronic sound-sources in both small and large ensembles. Each element will emphasize traits which articulate the fundamentally social nature of all music-making.
