The faces of Montreal
Les Visages de Montréal (Complexe Desjardins)
Complexe Desjardins, 150 Sainte-Catherine St. W.
Open in google map From August 16 to mid-November
As part of the major project Les Visages of Montreal, Complexe Desjardins features the smiling faces of its community in three large mosaics on its windows overlooking Jeanne-Mance and Sainte-Catherine streets, as well as on the floor of the main entrance.
Les Visages de Montréal is a creative appeal for solidarity for Montrealers. Everyone is invited to take part in this collective art work which lines the facades of downtown Montreal with thousands of portraits. This inspiring art work is part of Inside Out, a collaborative project launched by the French artist JR that has travelled to cities all over the world. Les Visages de Montréal puts the spotlight on the faces of Montreal, mobilizing some of the city’s key institutions and the public with an invitation to reclaim the downtown core. Watch for the photo booth truck that will be combing the streets all summer to take part in it yourself!
