Streetlight Sculptures / Dyan Marie Bloornights
Curated with and work by Orest Tataryn, Heather Nichols, Christy Thompson,
Lois Andison, and others
Overhead sculptures are exhibited
fixed to city streetlight poles creating a street-long exhibition
of contemporary light art.
[ Lois Andison statement ] For this project I used the names of street signs from the Bloor and Lansdowne area
to weave a small narrative. My lightbox was located outside the House of Lancaster,
the local stripbar / gentleman's club. Given the decidedly heterosexual audience of the establishment,
I decided to suggest lesbian and gay encounters as a counter narrative to what takes place inside.
