Jordi Bonet (1932 - 1979) JORDI BONET (1932 - 1979) Jordi Bonet was born in Barcelona on the 7th of May in 1932 in a Catalan family of traditional noble values. The walks Jordi had with his father in search of Roman ruins, left him he later said, with a sense of astonishing awe. He devoted himself to observe the grand masters, the likes of Velazquez, Goya and Picasso. He thereafter stopped his studies and worked to perfect his technic and his pictorial style. In 1949, he deepened his knowledge of the Catalan Culture, thanks to his uncle the architect Lluis Bonet i Gari, who welcomed him into his house in Mallorca. Impressed by his studies, Jordi then studied the work of Gaudi, and the Roman and Gothic monuments. During five years in Barcelona, he dived into the universe of a distinguished cultural level, Antonio Prats, Antonio Vila Arufat and Josep Gudiol. Then at the age of twenty two, he decides to travel. He went to France and then to Canada. And in 1954, he installed himself in Canada and lived in Trois -Rivières. He quickly became friends with Marcel Couture, Clément Marchand and in Montreal adopted the family of Albert Jutras. He devoted himself to work with ceramic and was joined by Jean Cartier and Claude Vermette, and does a spectacular apprenticeship. He exposes at the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal in March of 1959. Jordi married, traveled back to France and Catalonia with his wife, Huguette Bouchard, there he encountered Salvator Dali. After this trip, he decided to stop painting and to finish with this stage in his life. A year later, he started a new artistic period and is now definitely rooted in Montreal. It’s the era of great murals of ceramic for Jordi, Saint-Raphael's Church, The Séminaire de Metabetchouan, the Convent Des Ursulines in Loretteville, The Faculté des Sciences de la Nouvelle Cité Universitaire de Québec (he executes this last work at Coutrai in Belgium in June 1961). He is now internationally recognized and the commissions are more in demand and important. Jordi is constantly at work; he produced great murals such as “Homage to Gaudi” at the Place des Arts in Montreal, another was commissioned by Sierra Leone, another one for the Pavilion of the University of Chicago as well as the one at the North American Tower in Toronto, etc… His perseverance finally pay's off and in February 1964; a book is published “Jordi Bonet, Le Signe et la Terre” by Jacques Folch-Ribas an architect. In 1966 he is elected associated member of l'Académie des Arts du Canada and member de l'Association des Artistes Professionnels du Quebec. The same year he is named professor of art at l'École d'Architecture de l'Université de Montréal. In 1969, Jordi Bonet moved into the Manoir Rouville Campbell in Mont Saint-Hilaire. Guy Roberts, the author of the second book published on Jordi Bonet, tells us that Jordi's work started in this place. Bonet continued to perfect his technic and started to work with cement and metal. It’s here he executed his majestic glass mural, for the Chapel at the John F. Kennedy airport in New York (Terminal 4), one at the National Centre of Arts in Ottawa, another for the Metropolitan Hospital in Philadelphia and the mural at the Grand Théâtre de Québec. After having reached professional success, he goes through a personal tragedy, the loss of his son Stephane in 1971 and in 1973 Jordi himself was diagnosed with leukaemia. Doctors gave him but a month to live, they of course did not take into consideration the will of this man who would fight on and live for another six years. He founded the group Para in 1975, and a year later he started what is today his artistic legacy “Le Livre des Naissances”, a work consisting of 240 drawings. He died on the 25th of December 1979. A memorable day in itself. That day we lost an artist, like all the great masters before him, he left his mark on a grand scale. His existence was but a mere forty seven years. Jordi Bonet, represented the universe that surrounded him. He was a Catalan in Quebec, but as all great artist, his genie passed all frontiers.

Long Synopsis: One of the most iconic and enduring human structures ever built, Barcelona’s La Sagrada Familia is a unique and fascinating architectural project conceived by Antoni Gaudi in the late 19th century. More than 125 years after construction began, the basilica still remains unfinished. Sagrada: The Mystery of Creation celebrates Gaudi’s vision and the continuing work of countless laborers, artisans, designers and architects as they strive to complete the colossal project while delving into the mysterious process of artistic creation. La Sagrada Familia was commissioned by the Order of St Joseph in 1882. After conflicts arose between the Order and the original architect, 31 year old Antoni Gaudí was hired to complete the design. A devout Catholic and architectural prodigy, Gaudí envisioned a place of worship that combined elements of classic French Gothic style and the curvilinear, organic aspects of the budding Art Nouveau school.

  • The Icao Art Collection a Guided Tour
    COMMUNIQUÉ SPECIAL INSERT THE ICAO ART COLLECTION A GUIDED TOUR By Albert Pelsser Input and Photographs by Barbara Strike Designed by Danièle Côté he ICAO Headquarters building, now located at 999 University Street, Montreal, and inaugurated in 1996, houses a remarkable collection of art and artifacts donated or loaned by the Organization's TTContracting States, international organizations, companies or individuals. Fittingly, flight is the theme of many of the works of art that reflect a wide variety of media: ceramics, decorations, furnishings, medallions, mosaics, murals, paintings, sculptures, stamps, tapestries and vases. A guided tour of the ICAO art collection begins outside the building itself, whose unique architectural design admirably captures the dynamics of the Organization. Flanked by the flags of Canada, local governments and ICAO, the complex is located along a prestigious gateway into Montreal and contributes immeasurably towards unifying and structuring the city's downtown urban fabric. The building encompasses an area of 40 000 square metres. Severe challenges in terms of noise, vibration and security were presented to the engineers, as the building site is located directly over the westbound and eastbound tunnels of the Ville-Marie Expressway. Twoseparate steel and concrete structures, a 15-storey office tower and a 5- storey conference block, are joined by a dramatic glass-covered atrium, flying bridges and criss-crossing escalators. The result is a delicate balance of transparency and continuity in a classic, yet modern environment. Limestone and precast concrete represent the strength of the Organization, while back-painted textured glass permits natural lighting to wash the walls with a delicate filtering effect.

  • The Centennial Projects: Building the New
    1 The Centennial Projects: Building the New Marco Polo and Colin Ripley Opening Act: Kraanerg On the evening of June 2, 1969, a crowd of Ottawa dignitaries, including Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau (1919–2000) and Governor General Roland Michener (1900–1991), arrived at the brand new National Arts Centre, one of the last of the Centennial Projects com- missioned by the government to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of Canadian Confederation. A festive atmosphere settled over the gala for the official opening of the building, coming almost two years after the actual 1967 Centennial. Sitting in stark contrast to nearby buildings, the message of the National Arts Centre—with its brutalist exteriors, its orientation away from the fabric of the city, and its hexagonal plan—was clear, if not entirely comfortable for Ottawa residents: Canada and Canadian culture would be about the future, about new forms and new ideas. The performance that awaited the sold-out audience in Southam Hall, the largest stage in the facility, pushed the boundaries of newness further still. The main work on the pro- gram was a full-length ballet, Kraanerg, commissioned for the opening and choreographed by National Ballet director Roland Petit (1924–2011). Written by the avant-garde composer (and architect) Iannis Xenakis (1922–2001), Kraanerg was, as historian Jim Harley puts it, an aggressively modern, highly abstract “dialogue” on the “ideological disorders” facing 19 1 opposite Karen Bowes, Vanessa Harwood, Veronica Tennant, Garry Semeniuk, Timothy Spain, and artists of the ballet Kraanerg. Stage design by Victor Vasarely, 1969. 2 right Festival Theatre, Stratford, Ontario.

How does the world take shape in our minds? Before we conceptualize it using words, we do so essentially through sentient experience of the objects that compose it. The objects of everyday life – furniture, knick-knacks, photographs and souvenirs – are all land- marks of a personal or familial journey. From a collective standpoint, certain objects have meaning at a specific time and place while elsewhere and at other times they would have none.
