Comment by AB: This annual nighttime extravaganza is more of an experience than an art show featuring video, performance, projections, participatory opportunities and more. Every room, every screen, every installation is an adventure, including a video swimming pool where you can be the lifeguard, an alter of exercise, a projection of a woman sleeping in a suitcase, an ode to Cuba, a pile of paintings on the floor, and much more. The event is sold out and well worth the modest admission fee of $12.
