Monk is a metro station in Montreal, Québec. It is an architecturally stunning station, and features many works of art, including the large sculpture Pic et Pelle by artist Germain Bergeron . Monk also features many balconies that overlook the main station below, however they have been closed for the safety of the visually impared. .
Germain Bergeron considered many different ideas for the public art for this station. His first concept was to create a series of flying saucers that were suspended from the roof of the station, and were to move with the wind generated by passing trains. However, this was deemed too dangerous by authorities, and the idea was cancelled.
The current two giant status of workers constructing the Metro were to have been accompanied by a third, representing a foreman, but this idea was judged superfluous and scrapped.
