DUC C. NGUYÊN: #ArtMTL #ArtpublicMTL @ArtPMTL @micheldebroin at @stm_nouvelles One of my favorite artworks of Michel de Broin. Révolution, 2003 Révolutions encapsulates the neighbourhood’s specific visual references. To the obvious reference to the typical Montreal outdoor staircases is added the stairway to the Métro station that is under the artwork, the metal structures of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, and the rides in the La Ronde amusement park nearby. The aluminum sculpture also evokes universal symbols such as recycling (the Moebius strip) and infinity, as well as art history in its allusion to Vladimir Tatline’s Monument à la IIIe Internationale.
