Jean-François Prost
Jean-François Prost is an interdisciplinary artist with an academic background in architecture. He has a keen interest in new urban research territories and he approaches art as an act of resistance, a state of mind, a medium for enunciating and exchanging ideas. His artistic actions, workshops and books address the issues of urban diversity, the rights to the city and civic participation through a (co)definition of living environments. Prost is the founder of Adaptive Actions (AA), co-founder of l’atelier SYN- and undertaking his doctoral studies at l’UQAM. The AA books Heteropolis and Stopping – Arrêts were the subject of various actions / exhibitions at the Montreal Art Biennial, MUAC (MX), Tokyo Wonder Site and Bina Ellen Gallery. His ongoing projects comprise Infralois and Chantier with Skol Art Centre. adaptiveactions.net With DARE-DARE, he realized in 1998 his first artistic intervention in the public space entitled: Chambre avec vues, which took the form of a black shed inhabited and installed for two weeks on a Sherbrooke street vacant lot. He then became a member of the Board of Directors of DARE-DARE for over 10 years. In 2006, he organized the round table Autour de l'agora in Viger Square. In the spirit of Charles Daudelin's work, a space for debate and festivities was set up under the concrete pergolas.Instigator in 2001 of the concept of nomadism for the centre and active participant in the Satellite project, he is presently participating in the Dis-location committee to reflect on future contexts of artistic action for DARE-DARE.
