Both art interventions are situated at the main entrance to the chalet in Parc Armand-Bombardier, which faces the boulevard of the same name. The works are composed of broken coloured bands in relief, complemented by long black planks that echo the horizontal motifs of the building’s roof and back terrace.

The artwork’s title refers to the expression “se mettre au diapason” (to get in tune), which means to be in a state of mind in sync with others and with the present moment. The elements of the work that evoke coloured undulating waves express the exaltation that one might feel during activities, encounters, and cultural events. They symbolize the social resonance and connection that can be created among people during such shared moments. The black lines represent trajectories. Whether they refer to people, organizations, cultural groups, or other entities, these lines begin to pulsate in a separate space that might represent the chalet or any other place where people get together to be creative or have a collective experience.

The artwork was conceived following cultural mediation activities led by Chevalier with the Centre de promotion communautaire Le Phare. An indoor wall text details the input of each young person who participated in the activities and contributed to producing the work.

The work Au diapason was created for part 3 of the Programme d’art mural, funded by the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal, an agreement concluded between the Ville de Montréal and the Gouvernement du Québec. It was integrated into the project for construction of a chalet in Parc Armand-Bombardier, in the Rivière-des-Prairies neighbourhood.
