Password to Success:C2-MTL1,250 participants, 45 speakers, 34 countries,41 private partners, 6 public partners,125 media representatives, 12,000 tweets, 1,500exhibition visitors and … 52 million dollars ineconomic benefits.It must be said that Montréal firm Sid Lee took achance with the first edition of C2-MTL, notably by settingit in a newly revitalized district. New City Gas, anenormous 19 th Century industrial complex in Griffintown,is as unique as the conference itself. C2-MTL transformedthe building and surroundings into a creative zone for theevent. Networking spaces, brainstorming zones, collectivework tables, private meeting rooms and exclusive-contentlounges: all areas were designed to encourage collaborationand spark creativity.Another complementary C2-MTL activity of interestwas E-merge, a multi-discipline exhibition organized byFrédéric Loury of Art Souterrain, forging links betweenart and the business world with avant-garde projects fromseven artists and six enterprises. It was another revelationof Québec innovation and creativity.C2-MTL returns in 2013, this time at Arsenal.A Crowning Work Ahead for Lemieux-PilonRecently decorated as Officers in the Order of Canada (the country’s highest civil honour), 4DArt founders Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon have earned world-wide recognition over thepast 30 years for their productions blending new technologies, stage art and multimediainstallations. The duo has worked with the best, notably Cirque du Soleil on Delirium, andLuc Plamondon and Michel Berger for the opera adaptation of Starmania.Starting in 2014, Montréalers will be exploring their city’s history through the virtual world ofLemieux and Pilon. People can go back in time for an interactive walking tour of Old Montréal!Over three years, Montrealers will follow the evolution de Cité Mémoires, a gigantic effort thatwill progressively build on the streets until 2017, Montréal’s 375 th birthday.Revealed at Rendez-vous 2012 — Montréal, Cultural Metropolis, the Montréal en histoire CitéMémoires project will be produced in collaboration with director Michel Marc Bouchard.72
Opening New WorldsBrings World RecognitionThe names Wapikoni Mobile and ManonBarbeau are today inextricable. The filmmaker’sart speaks to justice and her mobile studio workwith First Nations youth gives them hope, confidence,pride and a willingness to go out and meetthe world. These youth are now receiving internationalrecognition for creativity thanks to her initiative.Recently, the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations(UNAOC) and the International Organization for Migration(IOM) presented her an Award of Honour at the Plural +Festival for her body of work with First Nations youth andits quality.In 2012, the people of Wapikoni Mobile worked with youth in13 communities, recording 52 songs and producing 78 films.These efforts earned Manon Barbeau a TELUS CommunityExcellence Award and the Prix femme d’affaires from theRéseau des femmes d’affaires du Québec in their non-profitorganization category.Global Attention for a Great ProjectThe eyes of the world turned to Quartier des Spectacles, with a book and several media articles writtenin the past year.The book La ville des créateurs (éditions Parenthèses) analyzes the Quartier des Spectacles developmentprocess and the role given to the creative sector. Published under the auspices of POPSU Europe(Programme d’observation des projets et stratégies urbaines), the study compares the Montréalexperience to those in Berlin, Birmingham, Lausanne, Lyon, Nantes and Montpellier. Serving at theheart of planning and design, there can be no doubt that the creative community’s contributionwas a boon to this unique urban planning project.The proof is in the continuing interest of foreign media in Quartier des Spectacles. Le Mondetook a look at its visual identity and the experience it offers to visitors. The New York Timesrecommended the first stop in a visit to Montréal to be at 2-22 rue Sainte-Catherine. Furthercommentary was to be found in a Zurich daily paper, a Korean travel magazine, the Germanweekly Der Spiegel and international publications aimed at architects, engineers andlighting experts… In their turn, they gave forth on the show district’s development,its lighting plan, activities, etc. The Quartier’s fame continues to grow!73
