Mélangez le Tout

Presentation of the artwork
The “eggbeater” is situated in a space adjacent to the rear entrance to Centre Jean-Claude-Malépart, along Avenue Gascon. In this position, the artwork marks the presence of the centre, consolidating its link with the neighbourhood. Around the oversized kitchen implement is a circular red bench providing a place to sit and chat. Thus, this everyday object encourages people to meet and mingle. Like an eggbeater that incorporates ingredients, Centre Jean-Claude-Malépart brings together the residents of the Sainte-Marie neighbourhood. In this sports and community centre, “the whole” is in the image of its parts – a mixture of ages, cultures, and interests. Associated events
This artwork was produced in the context of expansion of Centre Jean-Claude-Malépart. The project, completed in 2010, consisted of construction of an indoor swimming pool and wading pool.
