Since September 2020, a new temporary installation at the corner of Parthenais and Larivière, for and by the Sainte-Marie community, provides a place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Close to the Frontenac Metro station.

Description

The temporary design created by Sandra Tannous echoes the surrounding environment. There are references to the immediate vicinity and to times past, including the former school sports field and the Delorimier stadium, home to the Royals baseball team until 1960.

Its formal characteristics can also be understood as a continuity of the palette of colours and shapes of Réverbères bleus (blue lampposts), a 2013 work of art by Sandra Tannous and Delphine Quach.
