EXMURO arts publics
Sarah Thibault (Quebec City, Quebec), "Monumental Impermanence", 2021Aligned with the central entranceway of the Saint-Roch church, this sculptural arch providesa passageway to the church’s forecourt, a central gathering place for neighbourhood residents.The arch is covered with an haut relief of papier-mâché baguettes. This work combinessymbolic elements drawn from the lowly and ornate spheres, while echoing the gilded elementsof the church whose ground it occupies.

Collectif du Tropique (Quebec City, Quebec), "Last Stop", 2021"Last Stop" is a sculpture installation in an open-air museum: multiple layers in time and space coexist with composite reproductions of the commercial signage that once graced the streets of the Saint-Roch district. Recalling Las Vegas’s Neon Museum, the work invites us to take a stroll back in time through the vestiges of our restored past using archival photos. The selection pays homage to the businesses that played a crucial role in the life of the neighbourhood, weaving together a richly varied social fabric."Last Stop" won the PASSAGES INSOLITES competition, organized in collaboration with the Université Laval faculty of art.This project is made possible by the Entente de développement culturel, a funding agreement between the Québec government and the Ville de Québec.

Giorgia Volpe (Quebec City, Quebec), "Suitcases", 2021These suitcases by Giorgia Volpe, set up in locations throughout the city, seem to have been left on the roadside – perhaps forgotten, or lost, or voluntarily discarded by their owners. But the suspect luggage does not contain personal belongings: they are solid blocks of cast concrete. Thus fixed in their inert, massive state, these unusable suitcases evoke the recent constraints placed on nomadic existences and human migration.
