Transco

Gallery Leave a comment

Pour le texte en français, voir un peu plus bas.

The Transco will probably be remembered as one of the greatest graffiti galleries in Montreal because of the size as well as the quality of the collection that was created within its walls. Rarely before had our city seen so many pieces of quality graffiti in one place. The collection of works which came to life inside the Transco was impressive in size because of the sheer dimensions of this warehouse complex (40 000 square meters), but also in quality because the building was demolished before lack of available free walls forced writers to go over each other’s works, and before the arrival of too many writers of lesser talent.

This huge warehouse, taking up most of the block within the streets St-Laurent, Chabanel, Esplanade and Louvain in today’s fashion district, started off as a military complex. It was built in 1943 by the Canadian Defense and was originally used for parachute packing for the army. After the war ended it served as an administrative office of military equipment. In the 1950s it was sold to private interests. Before its doors closed at the very beginning of 2013 it had served for a number of years as a distribution centre for the Transco Plastic Industries Inc. For over two years following its closing, the complex seems to have been visited only by urbex photographers and by an ex-employee who would squat there on and off. Around the end of May 2015 the RCD crew discovered the place with its huge rooms and thousands of square meters of virgin walls. For a few weeks they were the only ones in there, until some point into July when the SIK crew arrived. They first made it onto the roofs where they left a bit of art, then soon enough found a way in.

Because the site was easily accessible and many entryways into the buildings had been created, the gallery developed very quickly and most of the collection was created from August to November 2015. An impressive number of Montreal as well as visiting writers checked the place out at least once during that period. The place has even been used for fashion photography and for the filming of music videos. At the end of November 2015 the owners had a fence put up around the complex. That, with the arrival of winter, brought activity to a near-standstill. But the existence of a few secret entryways and the mellowness of the 2015-2016 winter have made it possible for the more dedicated writers to keep on creating there and for graffiti fans such as myself to keep on documenting the evolution of the Transco’s impressive collection.

In February 2016 teams arrived on the premises to prepare the buildings for demolition. They started by emptying the place of anything that may have still been useful and removed the asbestos inside its walls. Demolition started in the middle of March and at the end of July nothing was left of one of Montreal’s greatest graffiti galleries but a few piles of debris waiting to be cleared out.

My image gallery for the Transco features over 400 photos, mainly burners with a selection of throws and tags, plus a few general shots of some of the rooms. Because of its size, I had to split it up into 4 sections:

La Transco passera probablement à l’histoire comme étant une des plus grandes et des meilleures galeries de graffiti que Montréal aura connues. Notre ville avait rarement vu une aussi impressionnante quantité et qualité d’oeuvres de graffeurs en un seul endroit. La collection qui s’y est développé s’est démarquée par sa taille, étant donnée la superficie de ce complexe de salles et d’entrepots (40000 mètres carrés), mais aussi par sa qualité puisque l’endroit a été rasé avant que le manque d’espace ne pousse les graffeurs à passer par-dessus les oeuvres des autres artistes, et avant l’arrivée d’une trop grande quantité de graffeurs de moindre talent.

Cet immense complexe d’entrepots, situé à l’intérieur du quadrilatère délimité par les rues St-Laurent, Chabanel, Esplanade et Louvain dans le quartier de la mode, a d’abord été un complexe militaire. Il a été construit en 1943 par la Défense Nationale et a originellement servi à l’emballage de parachutes pour l’armée. A la fin de la guerre il a été converti en centre de gestion d’équipement militaire. Il est passé à des intérêts privés dans les années 1950. Au cours des années précédant sa fermeture au début de 2013, le complexe servait de centre de distribution pour les Industries de Plastique Transco Inc. Pendant plus de deux ans suite à sa fermeture l’endroit semble n’avoir été visité que par des photographes d’urbex ainsi que par un ancien employé qui y squattait à temps partiel. Vers la fin de mai 2015 le RCD crew a découvert l’endroit avec ses énormes pièces et ses milliers de mètres carrés de murs vierges. Ils ont été les seuls visiteurs jusqu’à ce que le SIK crew d’Ahuntsic découvre aussi l’endroit en juillet 2015. Ces derniers sont d’abord arrivés par les toits, y ont fait quelques pièces, puis ont éventuellement découvert une voie d’entrée.

Le site étant relativement facile d’accès et plusieurs voies d’entrée ayant été créées, la galerie s’est ainsi très rapidement développée et l’essentiel de la collection s’est constituée au cours des mois d’août à novembre 2015. Une très grande quantité d’artistes s’adonnant au graffiti à Montréal y est passée pendant cette période. Des équipes sont même venues y filmer des vidéos ou y faire de la photo de mode. Vers la fin de novembre les propriétaires du complexe ont cloturé l’endroit et l’hiver est arrivé, ce qui a ralenti l’activité considérablement. Mais l’existence de points d’accès demeurés relativement secrets et la clémence de l’hiver 2015-2016 ont permis aux plus tenaces de continuer à venir y pratiquer leur art et aux amateurs de graffiti tel que moi de continuer à documenter l’évolution de cette incroyable collection.

En février 2016 sont arrivées des équipes ayant le mandat de préparer l’édifice à être démoli. Celles-ci ont d’abord vidé le complexe de ce qui y avait été laissé et ont retiré l’amiante de ses murs. La démolition a débuté au milieu du mois de mars et à la fin juillet il ne restait plus rien d’une des plus grandes galeries de graffitis que Montréal a connue.

Ma galerie-photo pour la Transco contient plus de 400 pièces, principalement des graffitis burners avec une sélection de quelques pièces plus rapides, plus quelques photos générales de l’endroit. Etant donnée sa taille, j’ai dû diviser la galerie en 4 sections:

fence-tagging

Montreal is blessed to have Swiss artist Ygrek in town for some time this summer. This artist’s medium is tape which he weaves through the mesh of fences to write his name tag-style, or to create abstract patterns. Here are a few photos of his work.

L’artiste suisse Ygrek est en ville pour un certain temps cet été et il y a déjà laissé sa trace. Son medium est le ruban adhésif industriel et ses canevas sont les clotures de la ville. Il tisse ainsi son nom (comme un tag) ou crée des motifs abstrait. Voici quelques photos des pièces que j’ai réussi à trouver avant détérioration.

The Sun Youth front wall project

As the Mural Festival was kicking off, a bunch of mostly local artists were invited by Waxhead to participate in a major production on the front wall of the Sun Youth building. The work that was done is striking, but the other great thing about it is that it brought together figurative and graffiti artists. The pieces are presented below as they appear from left to right on the wall.

Alors que débutait le Festival Mural, une douzaine d’artistes surtout locaux étaient invités par Waxhead à contribuer à une production majeure sur le mur de devant de l’édifice logeant Jeunesse Au Soleil. L’oeuvre globale qui en résulte est extraordinaire, mais elle se démarque aussi par son mélange de pièces figuratives et de graffitis. Les oeuvres sont présentées ci-dessous dans l’ordre où elles apparaissent sur le mur.

This post features photos of graffiti pieces created around Montreal during May and June 2016 and that I was lucky enough to catch (I was out of the country for 2 weeks during this period). Some graffiti from May is already featured in the earlier post titled New graffiti May 2016. If you want to see new works as soon as I photograph them, you can follow me on Instagram.

Cet article présente les meilleurs graffitis créés à Montréal au cours de mai et juin 2016 et que j’ai eu la chance de trouver et photographier (j’ai été absent deux semaines pendant cette période).

Gallery Leave a comment

This post brings together photos of various artistic creations from the MTL En Arts festival which took place from June 29th to July 3rd this year. The event was put together mainly for artists to sell their creations, but I am only posting here the free public art curated by the people behind the festival. These include

  • the sidewalk panels on Amherst between Ste-Catherine and Robin
  • the flowerpots on Amherst between Ste-Catherine and René-Lévesque
  • the wheatpastes on the boarded doors and windows of the old Club Sandwich restaurant/hotel complex

Cet article présente une gallerie-photo des oeuvres créées dans le contexte de l’édition 2016 du festival MTL En Arts qui a eu lieu cette année du 29 juin au 3 juillet. Le but de l’événement est de donner aux artistes une opportunité de vendre leurs créations, mais ce qui est présenté ici ne sont que les oeuvres publiques gratuites créées dans le contexte du festival. Celles-ci incluent

  • les panneaux sur les trottoirs de la rue Amherst entre Ste-Catherine et Robin
  • les pots de fleurs sur Amherst entre Ste-Catherine et René-Lévesque
  • les collages sur les portes et fenêtres placardées de l’ancien complexe restaurant/hôtel Club Sandwich

Amherst flowerpots

Over a dozen huge flowerpots were installed on Amherst between Ste-Catherine and René-Lévesque and painted by various artists a few weeks before the festival. In keeping with the purpose of this blog, I have only selected to show the works of street artists and other artists who have been known to do public art.

Une douzaine ou peut-être une quinzaine de grands pots de fleurs ont été installés sur Amherst entre Ste-Catherine et René-Lévesque et peints par divers artistes quelques semaines avant la tenue du festival.

Club Sandwich wheatpastes

During the event, the boarded doors and windows of the Club Sandwich restaurant/hotel complex, usually covered with ad posters, were plastered with wheatpastes from various artists. Again, in keeping with the purpose of this blog, I have only selected to show the works of street artists and other artists who have been known to do public events before.

Pendant la tenue du festival, les portes et fenêtres placardées du complexe hôtelier Club Sandwich, habituellement recouvertes d’affiches publicitaires, sont devenues le canevas pour les collages d’une sélection d’artistes. La galerie ci-dessous n’inclut que les oeuvres des artistes connus dans le monde du street art et autres artistes participant régulièrement à des événements artistiques publics.

Mural Festival 2016

Gallery Leave a comment

This article features the new murals created during the 2016 edition of Mural Festival as well as the other temporary art found on the site (St-Laurent between Sherbrooke and Mont-Royal) while it was closed to traffic (June 9th to 19th).

Five earlier Festival murals have been replaced with new ones this year. These are the sponsored one by Bicicleta Sem Freio and the 4-Tin mural from the 2015 edition, the Alexis Diaz one from the 2014 edition, the LNY mural from the 2013 edition, as well as the Ashop mural done last autumn because the wall was not ready on time for last year’s edition.

You may want to check out this walking tour map connecting all Mural Festival creations and other major murals in the area. It starts from ‘mural central’ behind the LNDMRK offices, goes up St-Dominique and the eastern side of St-Laurent then down Clark and the western side of St-Laurent.

See also: Google’s Street Art Project feature on the Mural Festival.

Cet article présente les nouvelles murales créées dans le cadre de l’édition 2016 du Festival Mural ainsi que les oeuvres temporaires trouvées sur le site (St-Laurent entre Sherbrooke et Mont-Royal) pendant la tenue de l’événement (9 au 19 juin).

Cinq murales ont été remplacées par de nouvelles cette année: celles de Bicicleta Sem Freio et de 4-Tin produites pour l’édition 2015, celle d’Alexis Diaz produite dans le cadre de l’édition 2014, celle de LNY datant de l’édition 2013 ainsi que la murale commanditée d’Ashop produite l’automne dernier sur un mur qui n’était pas prêt à temps pour le festival.

Vous êtes invités à jeter un coup d’oeil à cet itinéraire pédestre connectant toutes les murales produites dans le cadre de toutes les éditions du Festival ainsi que les autres créations majeures dans le même quartier. Le tour débute à la ‘place des murales’ derrière les bureaux de LNDMRK, monte vers le nord le long de St-Dominique et le côté est de St-Laurent, puis redescend vers le sud le long de Clark et le côté ouest de St-Laurent.

information boards

Every year the backs of the Festival’s many information boards are painted by a selection of mostly local artists, a great way to showcase a lot of additional Montreal talent. Included in here are a few “your face here” boards also found here and there on site for the enjoyment of kids and adults.

A chaque année le revers des panneaux d’information du Festival sont peints par divers artistes locaux, une excellent initiative permettant de présenter une grande quantité de talent montréalais. Cette section inclut aussi quelques panneaux dans lesquels les enfants et adultes peuvent insérer leur visage et se prendre en photo.

This post features photos of graffiti pieces created around Montreal during May 2016 and that I was lucky enough to catch. I am aware that at the time this post is published there is still one week left in the month of May, but I will be out of town on vacation for the rest of the month. Whatever else I find after I return will be added to this gallery if I know that it was done in May. If you want to see new works as soon as I photograph them, you can follow me on Instagram.

New street art May 2016

Gallery 3 Comments

Here’s a photo gallery of the new street art having appeared on the streets of Montreal during May 2016. I am aware that at the time this post is published there is still one week left in the month of May, but I will be out of town on vacation for the rest of the month. Whatever else I find after I return will be added to this gallery if I know that it was done in May. The post is split into sections covering painted pieces, pasted pieces, wood-ups, stickers, and ‘other’. Graffiti done in Montreal during the same period is covered in a separate post. If you want to see new Montreal street art and graffiti as soon as I photograph it, you can follow me on Instagram.

Cet article présente les nouveautés street art apparues dans les rues de Montréal au cours du mois de mai 2016. Je suis conscient qu’il reste encore une semaine au mois de mai, mais je serai à l’extérieur de la ville en vacances jusqu’à la fin du mois. Suite à mon retour, ce que je trouverai qui aura été fait en mai sera ajouté à cette gallerie. L.article est séparé en cinq sections: oeuvres peintes, collages, oeuvres en bois (wood-ups), autocollants, et ‘autre’. Les pièces de graffiti créées au cours de la même période sont présentées dans un article à part. Pour voir les nouvelles oeuvres de street art ou de graffiti aussitôt photographiées, vous êtes invités à me suivre sur Instagram.
