Glen LeMesurier – My work with recycled objects, discards, salvaged materials etc. addresses historical and ecological concerns and contains within it not just a point of reference but a point of destination! By using recycled materials in unexpected ways the survival of these materials becomes heroic and their transformation from mere object into Art becomes part of a mythological process.

I have a strong commitment to Public Art and a belief that Art should be integrated into the experience of Daily Life and so I have developed an outdoor Art environment in the Mile End neighborhood of Montreal, where I work and live. I do this because I believe that urban reclamation and occupying public spaces with Art is a form of culture in action.

My work has received accolades from the City of Montreal and can also be found in many private collections, including several commissions from the Cirque du Soleil.
