Selected Reviews from After Notman Exhibitions And The Gazette, Montreal, Saturday, September 6, 2003, Weekender section Quebec - Lifestyle and Travel Magazine Number 4: September- October 2004 La Presse, Montreal, Wednesday, November 14, 2003 Hundred years in Montreal by Nicolas Bérubé translated by Anna Rau For three years, photographer Andrzej Maciejewski wandered through the streets of Montreal, following steps of William Notman. He applied himself to re-take the same photographs as the ones taken by Montreal photographer on the turn of the last century. The result is a moving and unique journey through the time, a testimony of changes that the city went through during last hundred years. Hundred years ago, the tallest sky-scraper of Montreal, was seven storeys. Rue Sainte-Catherine with electric lines running through the tops of wooden posts, supplying power for the tramways, the carriages, the gentlemen wearing high hats and ladies with umbrellas. In winter, the smoke from coal furnaces darkened the sky and the snow was hand-shoveled in the streets. The everyday life of the metropolis at the turn of century, had been immortalized by William Notman, a pioneer of photography in our country. Notman, who lived with his family at the intersection of rue Sherbrooke and Clark, in the large house, which bears his name today, left more than 400 000 archival photographs, taken by him and his collaborators all over the country. Thirty of the Montreal photographs have been actualized by photographer Andrzej Maciejewski, who is currently exhibiting his fascinating diptychs at the McCord Museum. Maciejewski followed Notman's steps with scrupulousness of a monk: the same corner of the street, the same hour, the same frame. Same busy passer-byes, crossing the street, rushing to their appointments, with a friend or maybe with a lover. One hundred years later. It was a book from similar project, about American West, that inspired Andrzej Maciejewski with an idea of photographing 100 years from the life of the city. “I was impressed by the idea of recapitalizing past hundred years, he said. Some places changed completely, while others remained almost identical. It's an investigation, which is very exciting.” The result is astounding. When we compare two photos taken from the top of Mont Royal, we can see that Montreal has grown like a haricot plant. Rue Peel, which hotels and tramways were replaced with motor cars and numerous sky-scrapers. Place d'Armes, with taxis waiting for their clients exactly in the same spot where carriages waited hundred years ago. The photographer also shows us some interiors, like the kitchen of the Chateau Ramezay, with a man leaning against the mantelpiece. This kitchen is still intact today and has been a museum also those days. Maciejewski took care to take his photographs at the same time as Notman, and thanks to that the angles of shadows are exactly the same. A concern for detail which complicated his work very much. “Technically, this project turned out much more difficult than I thought when I was starting it, he said. Some photographs I had to repeat two or three times, because I wasn't satisfied. It's laborious, but I like all this work” Andrzej Maciejewski was born in Poland, he came to Canada in 1985, at the age of 26, and now lives in a small village Moscow, in Ontario. He admits that until he commenced his project, he didn't know much about Montreal. He was discovering the city through Notman's lens. “It was strange. I didn't know Montreal at all, but I became familiar with Montreal from hundred years ago. It was a little bit like the world amiss. ..” To get to exactly the same vantage point as Notman, Maciejewski had to place himself on the roofs, the balconies, he even climbed the tower of Notre-Dame basilica five or six times. “Surprisingly, I didn't need any permits to realize my project. People gladly cooperated. I would show them the photos by Notman and they wouldn't mind at all. People who live in Montreal really love their city.” His first choice was Toronto. “But the quality of photographic archives of Toronto wasn't good enough, he said. To make such a project successful, I needed very good old photographs as a starting point.” In this aspect Montreal is lucky: the quality of Notman's photographs is such that you could say they were taken yesterday. “Notman was a powerful man, passionate about photography. He had many collaborators. He had studios in Halifax, Victoria, Vancouver. As the west of the country wasn't yet colonized, he obtained numerous commissions from Canadian Pacific to document that region. He was in the right place at the right time...” Better or worse? The city has changed so much during last hundred years, that it's impossible to avoid this question: was it more beautiful before? With abundance of public market places the Vieux Montreal was a place full of life, and the rush hour hadn't been invented yet. The Jacques Cartier bridge neither. “At the beginning I had this tendency to think that it was more beautiful before, explains Maciejewski. But the longer I proceeded with the project, the stronger was my impression that we easily get misled by romantic view on the past.” Studying old photographs he learned for example, that the snow in the streets was hand-shoveled by people who then had to load it onto the carriages drawn by horses. He noticed that the front elevations of the old buildings seem to be in much better condition now than in the 19th Century. The city was then covered with black dust coming from the coal that was used for heating. “I was also surprised with the houses of the rich of the past century. All that wealth on one side, and on the other hand all people starving to death or shoveling the snow in the street to make their living... I believe, that today life is much better.” Andrzej Maciejewski currently works on another ambitious project: to traverse with his camera the rest of Quebec and the western provinces of Canada. He has already chosen 150 photos from Notman archives and he will limit this amount to about 50 for the final project. He plans to photograph the cities, but also small villages, the countryside and some remote places. “I learned that some villages, today quiet, used to be very active hundred years ago. I suppose that this project is going to change my perception of the places that I want to visit...” Apart from being exhibited, the photographs of Montreal by Notman/Maciejewski have been published as an album. On the last page there is a small black point, surrounded by hand-drawn circles, like in the child's drawing. Author, with a smile: “To be continued in a century.” http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2011/01/the-variegated-town- of-montreal.html Monday, 10 January 2011 'The Variegated Town of Montreal' Speaking of "then and now" views, check out the nice (if somewhat slow-loading—you have been warned) William Notman / Andrzej Maciejewski pairings at the McCord Museum of Canadian History website. Andrzej Maciejewski did a really nice job of matching the historical Notman photographs. Includes interiors as well as exteriors, and check under the "Photographer" tab for Andrzej's comments (there's even audio, if you mouse over the pictures). Ed Hawco told me about this. It struck me as I looked that it's not an entirely fair way to appraise the progress of the city, for the simple reason that the early photographer—Notman, in this case—has a free hand to present the most comely views, whereas the modern photographer is constrained in what he can present by what the historical photograph shows. As is clear from one view (#3) that is now almost completely blocked by buildings, this in some cases leads to modern photographs that one wouldn't necessarily take or frame the same way if one had a free hand. As I've no doubt said before (TOP will probably end when I've told all my stories at least twice), I've always wondered why cities don't have official photographers—just someone to wander around on a permanent basis capturing records of the way the city looked as it evolved. I suppose the politicians would find it an easy expense to cut, but if it were permitted it would be valuable for the historical record and for civic pride, identity, and interest. Mike http://voir.ca/voir-la-vie/art-de-vivre/2010/08/05/dapres-notman-balade-dans-le-temps D'après Notman Balade dans le temps par Aurore Lehmann Avec l'exposition en plein air D'après Notman du Musée Mc%ord, l'artiste torontois Andr'ej Maciejews*i nous livre un siècle d'évolution de Montréal. Fascinant. Accoudés à la barrière du belvédère du mont Royal, le regard fixé au loin, ils admirent la vue… à un siècle de distance. Fixés sur la pellicule d’un photographe du studio canadien Notman en 1916, les promeneurs, en haut-de-forme et crinoline, contemplent, sous leurs pieds, les quartiers bourgeois, anglo-protestants, et, au loin, les quartiers ouvriers du Sud-Ouest, misérables. En 2000, tee-shirts et chaussures de sport aux pieds, des sportifs du dimanche auxquels se mêle la foule des touristes sont captés eux aussi, cette fois-ci par l’appareil du photographe torontois d’origine polonaise Andrzej Maciejewski, sur le même belvédère. Devant eux se déploie une tout autre ville. Les clochers, autrefois points culminants, ont été remplacés par les gratte-ciel.

  • MONTREAL to WELCOME a NEW CITY MUSEUM Major Benefactor Donates $15 Million
    MONTREAL TO WELCOME A NEW CITY MUSEUM Major benefactor donates $15 million Montreal, April 30, 2019 - The McCord Stewart Museum is proud to announce that its planned new museum will be located in the heart of downtown Montreal. The new establishment will expand the McCord Museum’s current site by building on Victoria Street, which runs along the west side of the Museum, and the lot housing the former Caveau restaurant on President Kennedy Avenue. The combined area of these sites will enable the museum to meet its needs for additional space and create an institution that will leave its mark on Montreal’s urban and cultural landscape. Working closely with the City of Montreal, which is granting the right to build on Victoria Street, the Museum selected the site after conducting a feasibility study. The new building will house three recently merged museums—the McCord Museum, the Stewart Museum and the Fashion Museum—under a single roof. This legacy project will create a world-class institution for generations of Montrealers. «Our administration believes that it is important to build this new museum. It will be a major attraction for our city and a source of pride for all Montrealers. We are pleased to be able to help advance the project by granting the right to use Victoria Street, so that this cultural space may continue to attract visitors, both locals and tourists, in the heart of the city’s downtown museum district,» declared Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante. New museum to receive historic donation The McCord Stewart Museum also announced that La Fondation Emmanuelle Gattuso had pledged to donate the extraordinary sum of $15 million towards the project.

  • Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967
    Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967 Heather McNabb A Thesis In the Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada May 2015 © Heather McNabb 2015 ii iii ABSTRACT Visions of Canada: Photographs and History in a Museum, 1921-1967 Heather McNabb, PhD. Concordia University, 2015 This dissertation is an exploration of the changing role of photographs used in the dissemination of history by a twentieth-century Canadian history museum. Based on archival research, the study focuses on some of the changes that occurred in museum practice over four and a half decades at Montreal’s McCord Museum. The McCord was in many ways typical of other small history museums of its time, and this work illuminates some of the transformations undergone by other similar organizations in an era of professionalization of many fields, including those of academic and public history. Much has been written in recent scholarly literature on the subject of photographs and the past. Many of these works, however, have tended to examine the original context in which the photographic material was taken, as well as its initial use(s). Instead, this study takes as its starting point the way in which historic photographs were employed over time, after they had arrived within the space of the museum. Archival research for this dissertation suggests that photographs, initially considered useful primarily for reference purposes at the McCord Museum in the early twentieth century, gradually gained acceptance as historical objects to be exhibited in their own right, depicting specific moments from the past to visitors.

  • An Innovative Model, an Integrated Network
    RÉSEAU ÉLECTRIQUE MÉTROPOLITAIN An innovative model, an integrated network / Presentation of the #ProjetREM cdpqinfra.com THE REM: A PROJECT WITH IMPACT The REM is a fully automated, electric light rail transit (LRT) system, made up of 67 km of dedicated rail lines, with 50% of the tracks occupying existing rail corridors and 30% following existing highways. The REM will include four branches connecting downtown Montréal, the South Shore, the West Island, the North Shore and the airport, resulting in two new high-frequency public transit service lines to key employment hubs. A team of close to 400 experts is contributing to this project, ensuring well-planned, efficient and effective integration with the other transit networks. All sorts of elements are being considered, including the REM’s integration into the urban fabric and landscape, access to stations and impacts on the environment. Based on the current planning stage, the REM would become the fourth largest automated transit network in the world, with 27 stations, 13 parking facilities and 9 bus terminals, in addition to offering: • frequent service (every 3 to 12 minutes at peak times, depending on the stations), 20 hours a day (from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.), 7 days a week; • reliable and punctual service, through the use of entirely dedicated tracks; • reduced travel time through high carrying capacity and rapid service; • attention to user safety and security through cutting-edge monitoring; • highly accessible stations (by foot, bike, public transit or car) and equipped with elevators and escalators to improve ease of travel for everyone; • flexibility to espondr to increases in ridership, with the possibility of having trains pass through stations every 90 seconds.
