Of course you\u2019ll find some in all of the city\u2019s art galleries and museums, but you\u2019ll also catch awesome pieces in downtown restaurants, hotels, metro stations, and government buildings.  <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">Thanks to the provincial government\u2019s art policy, some 3,500 works have been incorporated into public spaces all across Quebec. And more than a third of Montreal\u2019s public oeuvre is beautifying our city courtesy of this wonderful initiative.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;dcv_post_content dcv_post_custom_content&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1596885259925{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"rtejustify\">Vital to life . . .<\/h3>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">Many healthcare institutions benefit from this art program, including the Centre hospitalier de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, commonly referred to as CHUM. Inaugurated in 2017, CHUM is the largest hospital in Quebec and has been the recipient of many architectural awards. In fact, the centre is one of the most beautiful examples of art-integrated architecture. One such artwork is\u00a0<em>La vie en montagne<\/em>, created by Mathieu Doyon and Simon Rivest. The piece depicts stunning mountain summits etched in glass across eight stories of the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade, and it is truly breathtaking. There is also a piece by Klaus Scher\u00fcbel called\u00a0<em>L\u2019artiste au travail<\/em>. This remarkable installation features a human silhouette sitting in front of an undulating metal surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">For now, the hospital is home to 14 permanent pieces, with 3 more slated to arrive shortly. However, even without these three new arrivals, CHUM already houses the largest concentration of public art in Montreal since Expo 67. Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine\u2014the largest mother and child centre in Canada\u2014follows close behind with 20 or so pieces of art, a dozen of which are part of an integration program. Among them:\u00a0<em>Le Soleil de nuit<\/em>\u00a0(a 7.7 m x 9 m skylight),\u00a0<em>Cirque du soleil<\/em>\u00a0(a series of pictures on the building\u2019s windows), and\u00a0<em>Dans l\u2019\u0153il de ce monde<\/em>\u00a0(a totem on which are engraved 600 names of children who were treated at the pavillon Charles-Bruneau).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"rtejustify\">And vital to the city!<\/h3>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">Art adorns not only our medical centres, but also our downtown business district. Take Maison Manuvie, for example. Owned by Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge and Manuvie, this complex is home to the\u00a0<em>Colorimeter<\/em>, an imposing and spectacular canvas that sits in the building\u2019s grand hall. The interactive art installation features 500 coloured panels and 30,294 bulbs that are activated by the hues captured by a camera. A yellow jacket, a red hat, a blue handbag . . . the colours picked up by the lobby camera are transmitted to the panels, which then extract them and\u00a0highlight them on the wall. Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge is committed to enhancing our downtown buildings with artwork. However, not all of their pieces are government funded. For Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge, the real estate arm of the Caisse de d\u00e9p\u00f4t et placement du Qu\u00e9bec, it\u2019s about fulfilling a social responsibility and creating living spaces, regardless of whether or not it\u2019s a government building.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">1000 De La Gaucheti\u00e8re, the Jacques-Parizeau building, and Place Ville-Marie are some of the Montreal edifices that have already greatly benefitted from this initiative. The\u00a0<em>Autoportrait installation<\/em>\u2014soon to be displayed in the Esplanade de la Place Ville-Marie\u2014will most definitely be worth the trip! Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge, in collaboration with Sid Lee Architecture and MASSIVart Collection, have also presented Fairmont the Queen Elizabeth with 123 new pieces of art, including a floral-and-white-rose print which now hangs in the iconic room 1742, where Yoko Ono and John Lennon staged their bed-in for peace. Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge\u2019s Montreal collection includes a total of 300 works, 90% of which are created by Quebec or Canadian artists.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;slideInUp&#8221; el_class=&#8221;dcv_post_content dcv_post_custom_content&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1600862953987{padding-bottom: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] Thanks to the provincial government\u2019s art policy, some 3,500 works have been incorporated into public spaces all across Quebec.
