For her participative project, she chose to install a patio swing on the site of DARE-DARE. This emblematic object of popular culture becomes here a friendly platform of investigation on dialogue and intersubjectivity. Throughout this installation in Saint-Henri, this patio swing will be perpetually transformed and will undergo multiple mutations before returning to the backyard in the Villeray district, where it comes from.

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.

The project approaches the Lachine Canal as an entity, seen through the eyes and actions the Wanderer, a character created by the artist Douglas Scholes.

The work is a monumental ephemeral installation in the tradition of land art. Through this strong and unequivocal artistic gesture, he creates a direct link with the invasive problem of the emerald ash borer.

The starting point of the artwork is to locate urban furniture elements that are damaged in order to perform «repairs» on them. This operation initiates an artistic gesture where the repairing partly dictates the choice of shapes, scales and materials. The objective is to position my sculptures as prostheses replacing the missing or broken parts of selected objects.

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.

The artist brings together people from all backgrounds who want to share their dreams in a small group and live a common experience. Dreams, wishes, fantasies, ambitions, any form of dream is welcome!

The project will use correspondences that the filmmaker received from friends, over the years, living in Verdun to create an alternative map of the borough that puts an emphasis on the awareness of the essence of everyday places.

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.

The event is both an in situ performance and a collective experience of crossing large spaces. These walks are proposed to a group of about twenty spectators and begin with a protocol recorded and illustrated by Alain Michard and Mathias Poisson.

Grumman 1974. Manual transmission. A mobile structure that will frame the unpredictable. White, with spaces painted in blackboard; an invitation to leave words in it.

A year-long project. I realize that this will be a particularly difficult task: Doing nothing (anticipated paradox).

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

For the project, the artist makes use of a technique called solargraphy—a photographic process requiring exposure times that often span several months.

"Minorité invisible" must be listened to with a blindfold. The project's subject is the dissemination and poeticization of the sound territory, the search for the invisible.

I invite you to invite me to your home. I invite you to invite me to explore your objects, your space ... and to ask you some questions.
