NOTICE TO PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS IN THE VISUAL ARTS AND THE ARTS AND CRAFTS PROJECT: CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY, MONTREAL Integrated Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Complex Province-wide competition to integrate the arts into architecture and the environment. In preparation for construction of the new Integrated Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Complex on the Sir George Williams Campus of Concordia University, the Ministère de la Culture et des Communications, in conjunction with Concordia University, announces the launching of a Québec competition to integrate the arts into architecture and the environment. Located at the corner of Mackay Street and Sainte-Catherine Street West, the outdoor two-dimensional work will be integrated into the glass section of the curtain wall which slopes at its base and extends over the east entrance of the complex. This large glass wall will measure 22 metres high by 25 metres wide. Artists must pay special attention to retaining the transparency of this glass surface which will rise 17 metres above ground level; artists must also consider the need for natural light to penetrate the various spaces, offices and studios on the upper floors. As a screen that will contribute to the vitality of downtown Montreal, the work will also act as an icon helping to further define the Quartier Concordia. For more details about the complex, visit the Web site: http://buildings.concordia.ca. The budget approved for production of this work of art is $423,596, plus tax. A selection committee comprised of six individuals will consider the submissions of five experienced artists, who will be required to submit models with detailed technical, maintenance and budget specifications. Artists will receive funding of $7,000 each, plus tax, to prepare their submission. Conditions of eligibility: • Professional artist or group of professional artists pursuant to the Act respecting the professional status of artists in the visual arts, arts and crafts and literature, and their contracts with promoters; • Canadian citizen or landed immigrant and resident of Quebec for at least the past year; • Inform the Ministère in writing of your intent to enter the competition, postmarked no later than 28 October 2002; • Submit your curriculum vitae and ten (10) slides of your recent personal work and permanent public works (please specify production budget for public works); • Attach a letter expressing your interest in the competition and stating your reasons for entering.
