Le plateau-Mont-Royal, 2275, boulevard Saint-Joseph Est, Montréal, Québec H2H 1G4
Catégorie : Murales en relief et sculpture.
Matériaux : Agrégat de quartz, béton, granit.
Technique(s) : Techniques mixtes.
Description :
La sculpture se trouve au centre de l’allée centrale menant au centre du Plateau, et la murale marque l’entrée de l’édifice. Un lien visuel fort existe entre les deux composantes de l’œuvre grâce à l’utilisation d’un même motif, celui de la figure humaine, pour la sculpture et la murale.
La sculpture est constituée de trois formes de béton, avec agrégats de quartz, qui s’entremêlent. Ces formes se rapprochent d’une abstraction géométrique, mais laissent percevoir des silhouettes humaines, représentant possiblement une famille. La murale affiche une silhouette analogue, mais la traite en deux dimensions. Claude Théberge avait réalisé à l’époque un recouvrement de tuiles colorées (rouge, orange, jaune, noir et blanc) qui s’insérait entre les personnages en relief de la murale. Ce recouvrement fut enlevé, et maintenant la murale est uniquement composée de son matériel de base, le béton.
Comme l’explique Danielle Doucet, professeure en histoire de l’art, ce style d’intégration à l’architecture est symbolique des années 1960 : « En effet, des œuvres murales publiques non commémoratives ont pris place dans tous les secteurs d’activité du grand secteur tertiaire de l’administration publique québécoise, alors en croissance. […] Ces œuvres sont situées dans les lieux emblématiques du développement social de l’époque et dans les édifices dont l’architecture relève du mouvement moderne. » De fait, l’architecture entière du bâtiment concorde avec cette esthétique moderne.

Another Place is an installation art work undertaken by Anthony Gormley that was created and exhibited across Europe before being accepted by Sefton BC for permanent installation on Crosby Beach.
The work consists of 100 life size anotomically correct life size casts of Anthony Gormley's figure that have been installed between Waterloo and Blundellsands parts of Crosby.
Each figure is 189cm tall and weights 650 kg. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are revealed and submerged by the sea.
Interestingly, there is another place where Gormley exhibits lifesize body casts, namely Time Horizon installed amongst olive trees in Calabria, Southern Italy. Where Another Place look in the same direction, the Time Horizon figures look in differing directions.

The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) occupies a converted factory building complex occupying 13-acres in North Adams, Massachusetts. It is one of the largest centers for contemporary visual art in the United States. The complex was originally built by the Arnold Print Works, which operated on the site from 1860 to 1942. MASS MoCA opened in 1999 with 19 galleries and 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) of exhibition space. It is large enough to put on exhibitions in individual buildings for extended periods - a Sol Lewitt building has five stories full of work conceived by him (and executed by others) on display until 2033; another building contains three large-scale installations by Anself Keifer on display until 2028.
The Boiler Room is one of the buidlings and when I was there it contained an installation of audio art. And old boiler room stuff that was highly photogenic.

Description de l’œuvre :
Vibrant appel à la tolérance, cette œuvre représente les cinq grandes familles humaines issues d’une même souche et qui peuplent la Terre. Située à l’entrée du pavillon de l’Organisation des Nations Unies lors de l’Expo 67, elle a été déménagée dans le métro dix ans plus tard.
Biographie :
Né à Ortisei (Italie), Joseph « Peppi » Rifesser a suivi les traces de son père et de son grand-père, devenant sculpteur sur bois. Il a connu un succès considérable en Europe avec ses œuvres religieuses exécutées dans le plus pur style gothique médiéval.
The central figure here is not a man with pizza on his head, but a tambourine seller. The tambourine is one of the traditional instruments in the popular street music of Naples.
To the left is a strange figure walking inside what looks like an umbrella frame. It is in fact a bleaching frame used in the fullers' workshops of Roman Pompei. The bird on top is an owl. Minerva was the patron saint of fullers. Note that the figure is carrying a bucket inside which is probably human urine, one of the key ingredients in the bleaching process. This figure is derived from a fresco found in Pompei called the Fullonica of L. Veranius Hypsaeus" - now in the collection of the National Archaeological Museum, Naples.
Behind them is a map of the city and reference to the project for the building of a central railway in the city in 1906 - a year in which Vesuvius erupted.

The children from K2 Shooting Stars finalised their interactive map installation today on the Atelier floor. India, Singapore and England have been connected to a sea map, an MRT map and a 'Numberjack's' tower'. Clay pieces have also been added, including "a small island where noone lives. It's in the middle of the Earth. It's a very small island. You can't land the plane there. You have to call the boat... only trees can live there."

This lovely couch appeared not too long ago and has yet to be picked up by the city. We often see homeless people sleeping on it in the early hours of the day creating an installation art of a sort...just a part of urban living.

The Collector was inspired by my design background and by the process of taking two different mediums and helping them to co-exist. Yarn and the computer don't have much in common except for maybe ordering it (yarn) online. This disconnect was the starting point for the installation. One of the most commonly used tools in any creative computer software is the "color picker." I chose this tool as inspiration because of the concept of limitless possibilities.
I have never felt so strongly about one medium until I started working with yarn. I feel that yarn is a medium too often overlooked because of its association with grandmother's and their passion for knitting. As an artist, I have found that there are many ways to use the medium of yarn. For this installation I want to demonstrate that by using yarn in an atypical way, it loses its usual appearance and becomes a beautifully elaborate, yet simple, presence.
In Wood, Andy Goldsworthy evokes ideas of growth, perpetual change and transformation through works made of leaves, branches, ice, snow, boulders, sand.
Six sections – Earth, Seed, Root, Branch, Leaf and Tree – each include extracts from the artist’s working diaries.
Woven through the book are intriguing glimpses of a ballet, Végétal, in which dancers build, dismantle and rebuild versions of Goldsworthy’s sculptures on stage.

One of the questions I am most frequently asked at exhibits and events is "How do you transport your work?". I am always happy to answer but I thought I'd create a visual representation of how I do it as well. I ship my work to events and exhibits packed in large wooden shipping crates. This piece shows a pallet jack and a crate containing a small version of New Youk City's Woolworth Building. The whole piece is about eight feet long by five feet wide when displayed together.
