Description: 

Cement slabs were arranged around a central excavation surrounded by a rope and flanking the mound of earth removed to this end. Two gravel arches framed this "garden". Fragmented words were written on the slabs. The artist marked the site of former Guest Motors garage with concrete words and scattered a few objects/clues.

Text of the artwork: 

ORDRE STABILITÉ PROCÉDURE

History: 

Eleven artists were invited to take over six city sites to create in situ works. Axe NEO-7 looked for places that had been forgotten or neglected in the town of Hull. A tour bus allowed visitors to enjoy the works in the company of artists and curators. Artists invited by Gallery 101 occupied Victoria Island and Richmond landing in Ottawa.
