On Saturday I went to White Night rather than doing anything big for Halloween. It’s an all night art fest­iv­al in Brighton on the night the clocks change. I knew some people who were doing stuff in it, and there was plenty of inter­est­ing stuff to come across anyway.

I met up with Vicky and Jack and we had a wander.

We went to the Open Market first. It usually sells veget­ables and second hand bikes and junk, but it had been set up with all differ­ent art stands and lights for the even­ing. There’s a woman blow­ing giant bubbles here, but you can’t really see her.

There were install­a­tions and music and all kinds of things going on.

I really liked these shad­ow lamps.

Gallit, anoth­er student on my course, was doing an install­a­tion called The Big Draw. She had cut out loads of card­board shapes and pinned them to the walls. Pass­ers-by were invited to take a shape, paint it with indi­an ink and hang it back up on the wall and also to add marks to the projec­tion.

Mine kind of ended up being a sort of skelet­al seahorse type thing.

I also ran into Mark from my course.

Then we went along to St Peter’s Church where my friend Soph­ie was doing shad­ow puppets with projec­tions in a tent for a band called Us Baby Bear Bones.

At the side of the tent was a place where you could colour in a picture of a monster.

On the way to the seafront we popped into Cafe Marwood, which was open­ing all night. My favour­ite cafe anyway.

They’d hung strings of paper cranes across the garden.

I caught myself a bird.

Aren’t I clev­er. Me & V made plans to make a lot of origami birds and string them up in the studio ourselves.

We wandered down to the seafront and saw all sorts of things like enlight­en­ment booths (like a confes­sion one, except you learn things inside), a big pink tent for think­ing in (we didn’t do any think­ing, stuck to drink­ing vodka out of plastic lemon­ade bottles) 80s dancers dancing on the band­stand, a giant bubble suspen­ded from a crane with projec­tions inside, assor­ted street performers and musi­cians and some really big queues for indoor stuff that we couldn’t be bothered to join. A good way to spend an even­ing.
