Performance tribute to the signer Fernand Gignac. Come sing your popular tune in "friendly duels" on September 24th, starting at 6 pm on Place des Arts Esplanade in front of the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art.

Manuela Lalic uses the fundamental contradictory similarities of snow and polystyrene in order to immerse herself in the public space with humour.

For its fourth edition, VIVA! Art Action punctuates the cultural calendar with a week of events bringing together the practices of over twenty artists from Montreal and abroad.

This series of original performative actions is designed specifically for the context of the Quartier des spectacles, and will develop over the cycle of the four seasons of an entire year.

This project is the continuation of a series of interventions based on drawing that the artist leads and which are embodied in actions of cleaning of public spaces or dedicated to the arts.

At the initiative of Patrick Beaulieu, our two fellow adventurers elected to track the roads of America for signs of a secret geography, where political divisions fade in the light of poetic revelations.

VIVA! Art Action is a biennial festival dedicated to the support and promotion of action art, which includes - but is not limited to - performance art, maneuvers, public interventions, body action and stealth art.

A reflection on uniformity, organization and community as it relates to history and the role of public space. As though conducting a lab, the artist observes, plans and experiments with group movement within and occupation of public space.

To start its 26th birthday with a bang, DARE-DARE is programming an ambitious project entitled SATELLITE. DARE-DARE will travel to Detroit and Tijuana for three-week “artist-organization-in-residencies” in each city.

VIVA! Art Action is a shared initiative between the artist-run centers articule, Clark, DARE-DARE, La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse, Praxis art actuel and Skol, which gave rise to the first international live art event in Montreal in the fall of 2006.

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

A performance based on oral tradition. A tale revealed through action and dance. Accompanied by a video by artist Leslie Supnet.

5th edition of the legendary DARE-DARE Gala! Party for the benefit of DARE-DARE activities, which brings together about twenty artists during a festive evening where performances, videos and musical performances are presented.

Ten days of mural painting on five completely different large walls, all located around the corner of Saint-Denis and Mont-Royal.

DARE-DARE presents a series of long and short performances to take place the urban environment as a means to create a dialogue with the general public.

➜ Please note that this event could not be fully realized. The OFF-Biennale team was forced to end activities earlier than planned, for reasons beyond our control. Some activities have been postponed to the following programming season.
