SATELLITE allows us to outreach new public beyond the territory of Montreal presenting critical and daring artistic practices.

The publication "DARE-DARE ODYSSÉE (2004-2014)" is the witness of an eponymous day of festivities and presents the result of a research conducted by Manon Tourigny to trace the history and challenges experienced by the Center during the first decade of the project DIS/LOCATION : Urban articulation.

As part of VIVA! Art Action, DARE-DARE presents the works of Marina Barsy Janer & Isil Sol Vil as well as Roberto de la Torre.

DARE-DARE organised a festive PARADE in Petite-Bourgogne and St-Henri neighborhoods. With or without costume, the public was invited to wander and celebrate the cityscape with family and friends.

Les PETITES VITES de DARE-DARE, initiated and organized by our Critical Space Committee, consist of a series of flash presentations within a strict protocol: the speakers have exactly 7 minutes and a visual support of 5 images to make their presentation.

This project is the result of a long reflection on the relationship between repetition, experience and language. It is a performance realized by a group of performers who carry out several distinct actions in the public space.

For five years, twenty-nine artists have been inspired by the socio-environmental context to offer aphorisms, poems and sentences that take the short form of slogan, haiku or tweet.

From one word and its definition, Marion Lessard forms the poetical anagram of another word and its definition, which then take the place of the official ones, and so on, indefinitely, in a long chain of subversion.

This moment of collective reflection is the perfect opportunity to examine our mandate in order to clarify its specificity, its objectives and, where appropriate, to review / refine / formulate new and relevant lines of research.

To discuss the practice of the artists in the 2016-2017 program, we have invited philosopher Erik Bordeleau to act as a moderator and theorist of the issues encountered during the past year.

Presented as part of the Journées de la culture, this cultural activity consists of an artistic tour during which participants are invited to collect works / prints by artists selected by DARE-DARE.

A gentle immersion into the world of lullabies, BERCER LE TEMPS invites to travel aboard a rocking chair. Set up in the heart of the city, the installation welcomes visitors in a suspended time-space outside of the surrounding urban bustle. Feet on the grass, swinging along, everyone can get carried away by the echoes of childhood through songs from all over the world.

Ambul Art Montreal is an open group with members who share an interest in the intersections between walking and art.

This secret work was inspired by spy films to develop strategies for disseminating excerpts from Roland Barthes' Fragments d'un discours amoureux.

"ODYSSÉE" celebrated the first 10 years of the projet d'articulation urbaine : Dis/location of DARE-DARE (2004 to 2014) and the continued presence of the Centre in the public space.

DARE-DARE'S “LA DIS/LOCATION DE DARE-DARE” exhibition proposes a retrospective glance on the first decade of the urban articulation project, lead by the centre since 2004.
