Description:
Les Maisons de la Rue Sherbrooke was both a site-specific installation/construction for Corrid’Art (1976), commissioned by the Programme art et culture, XXIe Olympiade, and a series of drawings and constructed photographs. The installation consisted of the construction of two full-sized facades of 19th century greystone town houses out of rough plywood and pipe scaffolding. The facades were erected in a vacant lot on Rue Sherbrooke, and mirrored the townhouses which still stood on the opposite side of the intersection. The constructed photographs of the same name, and also The Site, Les Maisons, 1976 and The Site Altered, Les Maisons, 1976, depict an intersection in which one side of the street mirrors the other perfectly. By reprinting the photograph, reversed and superimposed on itself, Charney fills a vacant lot with a suggestion of its past. One week after the installation of Les Maisons de la Rue Sherbrooke municipal authorities of the City of Montreal ordered it to be destroyed. Demolition began the night of July 13, 1976.
