After two consecutive programmings presenting 6 original tandems formed by DARE-DARE, an outdoor closing event is an occasion to reflect on the completed projects, with original presentations as well as two book launches.

For its art programmings extending from 2019 to 2021, DARE-DARE were proposing a mode of action by the creation of duos. Original tandems to energize, through the richness of an encounter, the sensitivity and the singularity of the research approaches put into dialogue.

Projects and biographies of artists and researchers

Jennifer Alleyn's interdisciplinary practice takes the form of films, videos, installations and photographs. Since the late 1990s, we have seen her work regularly in Quebec and abroad. The exploration of the relationship between reality and fiction appears implicitly in her research. She is also interested in the creative process and she made it the subject of several projects. Her works have been awarded in major festivals, but also disseminated by major Quebec institutions. After L’atelier de mon père and Dix fois Dix, in 2018, she created the film Impetus, which intersects with self-fiction and cinema-truth. For this film, which pushes the boundaries of the hybrid form, she receives the Prize Création 2019 awarded by l’Observatoire du cinéma au Québec and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of the University of Montreal for "her exceptional contribution to Quebec cinematography. ". She holds a bachelor's degree from Concordia University (1991). She lives and works in Montreal.


Anne Bérubé: "The way I "walk", how I move forward and how I explore life in this world takes in my opinion a "polyphonic" dimension. Performer, researcher, author, professor, activist... I walk in zigzag on multiple roads, passing from one to the other, going by side roads where I go, foraging. Since 2007, I work with the collective TouVA (Sylvie Tourangeau, Victoria Stanton, Anne Bérubé) to think about modes of performative actions. This performative, we have approached, from observations to actions and not without humor, as a sensory faculty to acquire : a 7th sense, which we have made the title of a book published jointly in 2017 by Sagamie and M:ST."

Sarah Chouinard-Poirier is an artist and a worker. She works in care and care for her work.


Raphaëlle de Groot is a Quebec artist who lives and works between Montreal and Orsigna, Italy. Her works have been presented over the Canadian and international scene for more than twenty years in numerous exhibitions and events including Paris Nuit Blanche, Momenta | Image Biennial in Montreal, also the San Diego Art Institute, the Venice Biennale and the Cultural Festival of Mayo in Guadalajara. Her artistic practice is being developed around the notions of mobility and meeting. Interdisciplinary and performative by nature, it emphasizes the process, duration, participation and collaboration of individuals and communities. Raphaëlle graduated from the School of Visual and Media Arts at the University of Quebec in Montreal (MA, 2007), and she received several distinctions including the Sobey Prize for the Arts in 2012.


Nady Larchet makes great use of new technologies and also makes her own machines that serve as tools or presentation devices. Sound is an important aspect of her research, as well as the technological contribution she uses and questions at the same time. It examines the notions of questioning and demonstrates the impact that certain social, political, economic, ecological and technological developments have on the human and his environment. In her recent work, she has been interested in the presence of waves, signals and particles in suspension in our environment, as well as the impacts they have on us, while at the same time looking at the responsibility of the human facing these invisible presences.

Interdisciplinary, Stéphanie Nuckle combines performative art, installation, drawing, printed art as well as methods of alteration and diversion of everyday objects. Originally from Laval, she has a particular sensitivity to the problems of the suburbs, the city and the development of art in her community. Her projects therefore focus on different types of human interactions with the territory, taking into account language, collective memory, environment, housing and cartography as subjects for research and experimentation. Between city and suburbs, this is through discrete interventions that she tries to activate the public space and "non-places", during the time needed for a walk, a route, or even an occupation.

Lynda Gaudreau's work evolves in the form of series declined through creation, research and curating activities. Her artistic practice is anchored in choreographic creation and in a reflection on dance, while engaging in an assiduous dialogue with architecture, visual arts, cinema and performance. As an artist and curator, Gaudreau notably presented OUT OF GRACE at Leonard & Bina Ellen Gallery (2010), a project bringing together five visual artists, inviting them to think of the exhibition space as a choreographic system. Her most recent series, titled Out, deals with what escapes any system: the "misfit", the margin and the aesthetic, political and social eccentricity. Lynda Gaudreau has collaborated with many places of the contemporary scene in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Spain, France, Israel, Italy, United Kingdom, in Slovenia and Switzerland.


Michelle Lacombe lives and works in Montreal. Since obtaining her BFA from Concordia University in 2006, she has developed a practice rooted in performance, branding and conceptual body art. Using simple gestures and modest materials, her work deepen the visual narratives and cultural constructs that surround the body, her body, cisgender white and feminine. Recipient of the Plein Sud grant in 2015, her work has been presented in Canada and internationally in the context of performance events, exhibitions and conferences. Along with her artistic practice, she is engaged in supporting complex and undisciplined forms of artistic practice. She is the director of VIVA! Art Action, an international performance biennial.


Didier Morelli, who was born and raised in Montreal, is an interdisciplinary artist who combines practice and research from didactic and performative explorations. Morelli is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Performance Studies at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. His action art practice involves actions focused on endurance, context and relation. His studio work, which incorporates elements of installation, drawing, photography and video, has been featured in solo exhibitions (Katherine Mulherin Gallery, Toronto, 2012; the Defibrilator Performance Art Gallery, Chicago, 2015; SIGHTINGS at the Leonard & Bina Ellen Gallery, Montreal, 2016), and collectives (the Audain Gallery, Vancouver, 2015).

Sylvie Tourangeau is considered a pioneer of performance art in Canada. Since 1978, her actions, collective workshops and individual coaching have created an active space for experimentation with performative consciousness through minimal actions that enhance the quality of presence, sustain intensity and personify the bond with the viewer. Performances, relational art, furtive practices and circumstantial rituals are practices in which she invests herself. She has also published artist books and over sixty articles on a large body of performance. With the TouVA collective, in 2017 she published the bilingual book Le 7e Sens about action art. She founded the interdisciplinary training center Espace Sylvie Tourangeau (Joliette 1995 to 2007) and developed a place of artist residencies, at the heart of Quebec's built heritage, La maison aux volets jaunes (2015-2017) and La nouvelle maison jaune (2018-) dedicated to performing arts.

Manon Tourigny is an art historian and author. She is interested in video, media arts, photography, performance and artistic practices that are part of public space. The collaborative aspect is essential in her practice as an author and curator. In all stages of a project (research, writing, presentation), she makes sure to be part of a discussion with the artist. She has written numerous articles and texts for specialized magazines (Ciné bubbles, CV photo, esse arts + opinions, Espace et Inter), in addition to writing pamphlets for various organizations (artist-run centers, exhibition centers and museums). She is part of the collective of curators N. & M., which centers its research on collaborations, artistic processes and contamination between artists, works and the very role of the curator.


Critical thinking residency (guest researcher)

With a master's degree in urban studies (INRS) and a doctorate in art history (UdeM), Josianne Poirier is interested in the relationship between art, culture and urban space, through themes such as city lighting, public art and municipal cultural policies. Her doctoral thesis, entitled Montréal fantasmagorique : illuminations monumentales et récits de ville au début du XXIe siècle, takes a critical look at the denial of conflict and the reification of techniques that are expressed in three projects: the lighting plan of Quartier des spectacles, Cité Mémoire architectural video projection route and the lighting of the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, Connexions vivantes. For this research, she won the 2018 Jean-Pierre-Collin Prize, awarded by the Villes Régions Monde network to the best thesis in the field of urban studies.
