Located at the intersection of McGill College Ave and Rue Cathcart, this piece of industrial artwork by Claude Cormier looks like a giant hula hoop, or a decommissioned star gate. The massive ring measures 30 metres in diameter and weighs around 50,000 pounds. Installed over the staircase of Place Ville Marie’s Esplanade, it demands attention while at the same time welcoming visitors to the area.
