In 2012, visitors gathered all summer long in front of the Darling Foundry and enjoyed the picnic tables designed by Mathieu Beauséjour to admire the impressive Courte-Pointe by Philippe Allard and Justin Duchesneau. Exhibited from June 14 to October 31, Courte-Pointe used to wrap around the building of the Darling Foundry as though a passing giant had left his bed cover to dry in the sun. This cumbersome mass pixellated out of milk boxes – these makeshift racks proliferating on Montreal’s bikes - interfered with the building’s functionality and created its own environment. In the meantime, the performances have been realised by international artists to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Darling Foundry.
