PARIS — It was nearly 2am and I was watching snow fall on the abandoned railroad tracks of the Petite Ceinture. The odd October weather concentrated below the cloud shape of Stéphane Ricordel’s “Nuage” was one of the over 100 art installations and happenings at Saturday’s Nuit Blanche. Since it started in Paris in 2002, the annual dusk-to-dawn event has spread around the world to Tokyo, Toronto, Montréal, Melbourne, Riga, and, briefly, New York City — which participated in 2010 and 2011.
