Dédale et Icare

Things to do at the Parc Public Art

Located in the paddock of Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, Mathieu Levesque's work, Dédale et Icare, is a sculpture composed of lines of geometric shapes which appear to cross the upper level of the building.

The artistic work evokes a linkage to motorsports and the mythological father-and-son duo of Dedalus and Icarus. The descriptive work also provides an experience at the human level that allows the beholder to see it from a different perspective and admire it from other viewpoints in connection with the architecture and landscape.
