Claude Lamarche – Temps d'heures (1987)
This sculptural grouping is situated in the area in front of maison de la culture Claude-Léveillée on either side of a footpath leading to the building. The artwork consists of a pryamid made of concrete layers linked by a cable to a triangular steel wall. For the artist, the pryamid symbolizes “the agoras in ancient public squares” (presentation portfolio, 1986). The cable that links the two elements, under tension, seems to dissect the upper corner of the steel plate. This arrangement, amplified when night falls by a lighting system, reveals a black-and-yellow isosceles triangle that is reminiscent of a traffic sign and contrasts with the raw finish of the materials used. Also highlighted by illumination, a small half-open gate makes it possible to pass through the steel structure. This playful element invites people to interact with the artwork. The resulting blurring of scale, given the small size of the door, is a recurrent aspect of Lamarche’s sculptural practice.

Julie Favreau - Moments (2018)

Moments is integrated into 2 contiguous walls in the vestibule of Centre Jean-Marie-Gauvreau at the entrance to the cultural centre. It is a photographic mosaic of 10 images the subjects of which are inspired by the borough and the people who live and work there. A hand in different positions is a central element that is recurrent in Favreau’s work. The portraits, signs, gestures, sculptures, landscapes, and textures portrayed in the work illustrate the different movements, art disciplines, and cultural traditions that exist in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough. By reflecting the intermingling of cultures, Moments is an expression of the coexistence of cultural heritages and represents Montréal as a city of mixed origins.
