The motif of the mountain range dominates this work in four parts by Françoise Sullivan, with its various summits, strata and magma flows. Composed of eleven varieties of granite from all over the globe, the work plays with formal aspects such as matte and glossy, curves and volumes, colors and grains. The huge mural installed in the main hall creates a bridge between the abstract idea of science studies, housed in this pavilion of UQAM, and the palpable matter, the studied reality. Three other elements complete the main work. On the first floor, the back of the large mural sports a landscape of Laurentian green granite. On either side of a fault that opens onto the main hall, two goats stare. On the ground floor, a wall of Indiana limestone in installed in a curved corridor. Chiselled, the gray stone slabs that make it up are shaped into four streaked mountains. Finally, in the lobby, a set of Laurentian green granite sculptures are placed directly on the ground, where they can serve as benches. They are engraved in Greek texts dating from the first century BC, evoking archaeological excavations.
