Montreal\u2019s Gay Village is being lit by collage this winter. From 9 November 2015 until Spring 2016, Sainte-Catherine Street East is illuminated with Jean-S\u00e9bastien Denis\u2019 series \u201cAmalgame\u201d, 90 8-foot light posts featuring long sleeves covered with backlit abstract collage images. The Village\u2019s Commercial Development Company, in conjunction with Montreal\u2019s Ville Marie borough, installed the work to allow the street to \u201cshine with a thousand fires and glow with vitality during the cold season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Artist Denis said, \u201cThe world, urbanity and movement are the subjects that inspire me\u2026The blending of disparate elements allows for many different interpretations and that\u2019s what I love.\u201d To see the original \u201cAmalgame\u201d series, visit www.jeansebastiendenis.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
