The House-Chair and the World-Chair are strategically placed at the front of the work,&nbsp;welcoming passersby. On the seat of one of the chairs, we can read the following inscription: "Rêver le nouveau monde." Under these chairs, a house and a bronze globe illustrate the extreme poles of public and private spaces. Forty other chairs follow, all placed in pairs in a variety of configurations. Each is inscribed with one of forty fragments of chosen texts written by forty poets, from the first days of the founding of Quebec to today. The Montreal-Chair and the Québec-Chair complete the work. A small scale illustration of the River is cast in bronze into the seats of the chairs, its direction following the same axis as the St. Lawrence River.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-mentionslegalesillust"> <div class="field-label">Mention(s) légale(s) des illustrations:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd label-above"> Copyright détenu par des photographes et/ou des musées dont la permission/reproduction n’a pas été obtenue </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-crdit-photographique"> <div class="field-label">Photo credits:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd label-above"> © Ivan Binet, 2008 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-texte"> <div class="field-label">Text of the artwork:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd label-above"> <p style="text-align: center;">Là où ses petites histoires,</p><p style="text-align: center;">mine de rien, s’emboîtent</p><p style="text-align: center;">les unes dans les autres</p><p style="text-align: center;">- Denise DESAULTELS</p><p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Chacun se débrouille seul</p><p style="text-align: center;">à rafistoler des bouts de rêve.</p><p style="text-align: center;">La table est mise.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Voyez.

Commissioned by the mayor of Bordeaux, France, to celebrate the arrival of running water in the city, the fountain and five others like it would stand at both ends of the Allée de Tourney up until the 1960s. Produced in the famous Barbezat art foundry, the Fontaine de Tourny was designed by sculptor Mathurin Moreau, who won gold for his work at the Paris World Fair in 1855. The ornaments evoke the imaginary world of the sea. The fountain is being presented by La Maison Simons as a gift to Quebec City for its 400th&nbsp;anniversary.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </fieldset> <fieldset class="fieldgroup group-dimension-de-loeuvre"><legend>Dimensions</legend><div class="field field-type-number-float field-field-haut field-inline"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd label-inline"> <div class="field-label field-label-inline-first"> Height:&nbsp;</div> 6.7m </div> </div> </div> </fieldset> <fieldset class="fieldgroup group-autres-informations"><legend>Other information</legend><div class="field field-type-text field-field-notes"> <div class="field-label">Note(s):&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd label-above"> <p style="text-align: justify;">Five similar fountains can be found in Europe, in the cities of Porto, Angers, Soulac, Saint-Quentin and Geneva. The mechanical room is located below ground level and contains the control panels. Five pumps feed the fountain with a flow of 100 litres per second (1,600 gallons per minute). The fountain works with a continuous flow of water; additional water is pumped only to compensate evaporated losses. An anemometer (a camera hooked to a pole located near the fountain) measures the speed of time and allows for the adjustment of the jets according to wind forces in order to avoid splashing passers-by and the formation of ice on the pavement. The fountain is active from May to October.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-link field-field-biar field-inline"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd label-inline"> <div class="field-label field-label-inline-first"> Artist&#039;s biography:&nbsp;</div> <a href="http://www.fontainedetourny.ca/en/01.html" target="user">Fontaine de Tourny</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-biblio"> <div class="field-label">Document(s):&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd label-above"> <a href="/en/biblio/584">La Fontaine de Tourny attire l&#039;attention</a> </div> <div class="field-item even label-above"> <a href="/en/biblio/585">Québec Inaugure La Fontaine De Tourny, Don De La Famille Simons.</a> </div> <div class="field-item odd label-above"> <a href="/en/biblio/586">...
