Jacques Carpentier

Communion

1990
Presentation of the artwork
Situated in Parc des Rapides, on Boulevard LaSalle, Communion is a tubular sculpture composed of two interwoven structures, one painted blue and the other painted red. Each structure is formed of four tubes attached by rings, evoking interdependence and communion among living beings and the close, sometimes complex relations that they maintain. The artwork offers a space to walk through and discover. The municipal collection includes two other sculptures by Jacques Carpentier, both made of painted steel.
Associated events
The work was created during Sculpture: Séduction 90, an event that took place in 16 Montréal Urban Community parks from 15 June to 30 September 1990. Organized by the Conseil de la sculpture du Québec, its goal was to present “a permanent itinerary of large-format sculptures integrated with the environment of municipal parks.”
