MDUDQ1 · Corporate body · 1639-

The Monastère des Ursulines de Québec was founded in 1639 in Quebec City, under the leadership of Marie de l’Incarnation. The monastery is the oldest in North America, and it opened Quebec’s first school for girls in 1641. During the siege of Quebec, the monastery was partially destroyed (1759). After the surrender, the monastery provided accommodations and medical care to English soldiers. The Ursulines were known for their embroidery, and amassed a collection of art works described in François Lachapelle and Mario Béland’s book "Répertoire des gravures conservées au Monastère des ursulines de Québec" (1982). The monastery complex was built between the 17th and 20th centuries.

Monat, Pierre
PM8 · Person · 1947-

Pierre Monat, born in 1947, is a retired graphic designer and artistic director based in Montreal. Politically engaged, Monat was involved in the 1968 occupation of the École des beaux-arts in Montreal, where he was a student. While he attended the École des beaux-arts, he was not formally trained as in graphic design. He describes his work in this area as “counterintuitive design.”

Monat was involved with the Jazz libre du Québec during the 1970s, creating posters and other materials for the group. He also had a studio, Atelier Pathographique, on the top floor of l’Amorce, an experimental venue that served as the headquarters for the Jazz Libre du Québec in the early 1970s. Around that time, Monat met Robert Forget, one of the founders of Vidéographe, while working at the National Film Board (NFB). (Forget and Monat were both working on Médium Média, a magazine published at the NFB.) It was then that he discovered video. At Vidéographe, Monat produced two experimental documentaries: Vive les animaux (1973) and Y'a du dehors dedans (1973). Y’a du dehors dedans is an experimental documentary, produced using a Portapak, about the Jazz libre du Québec. Vive les animaux shows a meeting between Edgar Morin and a number of Quebec intellectuals.

Monat also worked as a graphic designer for a number of publications, including Quartier latin, the student newspaper published at the Université de Montréal; Québec underground; Sexus; Allez chier; Le nouvel obsédé; La claque; Inter; Propos d’art; and Médium Média; among others. Monat is an honorary member of Vidéographe.
