Entre nous<\/em>, Andrew Dutkewych<\/strong><\/p>\n Entre nous, Andrew Dutkewych<\/p><\/div>\n This sculpture is made up of three elements: a round bronze column, an urn and a carved stone bench. From a mass of fragmented stone volumes emerges a column that represents two negative space profiles that face each other. Poised at the foot of the sculpture is an inverted urn. The bench sits further away, near the entrance to the museum.<\/p>\n The work evokes human interaction throughout history. The column is inspired by mooring piles, the fragments of stone symbolize the site\u2019s historical interpretation chain and the inverted urn is a metaphor and testament to the wealth of culture. A close reading of the column\u2019s profile reveals two silhouettes of human figures that come together to give the work its title: Entre nous<\/em>, between us.<\/p>\n Vanit\u00e9s 03 (Les miroirs du temps)<\/em>,\u00a0Nicolas Baier<\/strong><\/p>\n Vanit\u00e9s 3, Les miroirs du temps. Nicolas Baier<\/p><\/div>\n Vanit\u00e9s 03 (Les miroirs du temps)<\/em> was expressly designed for Pointe-\u00e0-Calli\u00e8re\u2019s fifth pavilion under the policy to integrate art into the museum\u2019s architecture and environment. The work is an immense photographic composition of 75 digital images of mirrors that covers practically the entire west wall of the pavilion hall. It constitutes a reference to the museum\u2019s mission as a space for memory and a witness to the passage of time. Moreover, the mirrors used by the artist were found in Qu\u00e9bec and Europe, in antique stores, shops, homes and waste bins: a patient exercise that brings to mind the research efforts by historians and archaeologists. The narrative of the work produced by the technique and the methodological composition of the compartments suggest the archaeological site grid.<\/p>\n Les voiles du temps<\/em>,\u00a0Peter Krausz<\/strong> <\/p>\n The Museum is currently working on a planned expansion to develop about ten heritage and historic sites to form Pointe-\u00e0-Calli\u00e8re, the Montr\u00e9al Archaeology and History Complex, a world-class cultural and tourist attraction.<\/p>\n![\"Entre](\"https:\/\/artpublicmontreal.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/007AAndrewDutkewych-197x300.jpg\")

\nLes voiles du temps<\/em> is made up of four panels that create a door leading to the museum\u2019s multimedia room. The fixed end panels are made of oxidized copper. They are overlaid with two galvanized steel panels that open to reveal the two parts of a triangular shape at the centre of the composition through which an aluminium framework appears. It conceals a bronze sculpture of a face. The triangular shape recalls the museum\u2019s architecture.<\/p>\n
