White Night light festival embodies the desire to (re)discover urban environment which is given a new dimension through art. A city is transformed into an interactive space whose usual nocturnal cycle ceases to exist for a few hours. Contemporary art breathes life into the city at night and the night thus becomes “white”.

 

White Night is a prestigious international art project aimed at bringing near to the general public not only contemporary art forms, but also untraditional, unknown and important spots of big European cities.

 

White Night was established in Paris in 2002 when mayor M. Bertrand Delanoë decided to make use of an unconventional art project to demonstrate the desire of the city administration to support contemporary art and international collaboration in art. In its first year, the project became the most visited art event of the year and, within a few months, spread into other cities across the globe. In 2013, Nuit Blanche in Paris was visited by over two and a half million people. From Paris, the project expanded into New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Santa Monica, Montreal, Toronto, Rome, Tel Aviv, Gaza, Jerusalem, Madrid, Brussels, Riga, Bucharest, Amsterdam, Brighton, Turin, Naples, St. Petersburg, Bratislava, Košice, among others.

Bývalá Prešovská 812 (usudzujem podľa nálepky Šariš) čaká na vypravenie zo staničky Vráble, ktorá leží na trati 151. Trať 151 má už svoju najväčšiu slávu dávno za sebou a od veľkého rušenia v roku 2003 bola osobná doprava redukovaná 4-5 párov denne. Na vlakoch jazdili 810, ktoré neskôr nahrádzali 812. Tie sa však dlho neudržali a začali ich nahrádzať 813-913. Nakoniec boli minulý rok nahradené všetky 813-913 s 812 a na niektorých spojoch aj s prívesnými vozňami 012. Nákladná doprava tu pomerne žije kedže každý pondelok,stredu,piatok ide jeden manipulák "dole požitavým". Manipuláky ťahá už tak trochu legenda 751.046.

Žiaľ, táto trať má v kraji veľký súbeh so SADkou (dnes už Arriva) a autobusy ju vytláčajú. Ďalším problémom sú veľmi vzdialené stanice od centra dvoch najväčších miest na trati- Vrábel a Zlatých Moraviec. Verím že keby sa spravila integrácia dopravy že by sa ľudia vrátili naspäť do vlakov, žiaľ je to iba želeničiarsky sen ktorý je nereálny.
