Programming

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

Invite people to the launch of the publication « les instructions inhospitalières » following the non-propitiousness of a project due to the disharmony of two networks.

This project consists of an itinerary where participants are invited to collect works/prints by DARE-DARE artists in various locations in the Quartier des spectacles.

These readings, which propose a confrontation between the textual and the real, will take place in the waiting room, the corridor, the lobby, the elevator, the cafeteria, the patient's room and the doctor's office of a Montreal hospital.

Through my research residency at the DARE-DARE Center, I sought to understand what the artistic, social and political stakes of the "revolutionary adventure" of the first Place des Arts really were.

In this ambitious project, the artists Magali Babin and Sylvie Cotton will collect the first names of every person living in the HJM, creating a unique soundtrack from the collection.

PASSEPORT DARE-DARE is a fundraising activity that encourages collaboration between commercial and artistic communities within the visual art community.

This original fundraiser consists of an annual public art event. PASSEPORT DARE-DARE offers you the opportunity to see the Quartier des spectacles with a fresh eye, meet 15 emerging contemporary artists and acquire a limited edition numbered collectors piece, on top of granting you access to areas normally closed to the public.

I want to know the movements of my fellow citizens; to see where their routes intersect; to make them feel how, by tracing their comings and goings on a map, one can project oneself into the territory and become aware of the way one perceives and understands it; to show that by emerging, this drawing can bring a better understanding of the city and its occupants.

This action consists of displaying anagrams of the word revolution, created with the help of an experimental manicure.

Noémi McComber’s interest in monuments and national emblems is through re-examining their place and pertinence in the face of today’s geopolitical and social realities.

This urban walk takes as its working canvas the concept of de-programming: an idea at first associated, in its more pejorative dimension, with a destructuring felt for some years in this sometimes "vampirized" sector that includes Concordia University.

For her project, Karen Kraven involves participants — local community members, artists, architects — to assist her in the ephemeral redevelopment of a commercial space in the Quartier Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (3179 Ontario East).

The "Motelization" roundtable (a coined word about the proliferation of motels) follows an exhibition of the same title recently presented at the Foreman Art Gallery at Bishop's University.

This is an afternoon "open forum" that aims to share practices and instill collaborations between our ways of fighting and practicing the city.

DARE-DARE, articule, La Centrale, and Skol come together to throw the office party of the season.
