Following the invitation of Théâtre La Chapelle, DARE-DARE presented, for a second consecutive year, a project within the framework of the event Vasistas - window on interdisciplinary art. For the occasion, artist Julie Andrée T prepared a gallery project that combined a performative action with an investment of space, a research and creation project based on the experience of meeting points between body, object and space through principles such as fusion, passage, juxtaposition or superposition. Space is a practiced place: this statement by Michel de Certeau expresses well the work of Julie Andrée T.
The space of DARE-DARE will be transformed in a disturbing and destabilizing way. In this manipulated space, objects will be installed in such a way as to force the spectator to question their functions, their relationship to the body and the place. The performative element of the project will be guided by a choreographic system inspired by a list of everyday actions. The interpretation of this list will provoke permanent changes in the space. The public will witness this research during the performances and will be able to experience it by confronting the installation in the gallery.
Things, events, architecture and people surround us. They are the material of ideas. Problématique Provisoire is a choreographic essay of these four elements as well as a utopian attempt at identity loss.
A graduate in visual arts from Concordia University, Julie Andrée T. is active in installation and performance art, placing the body and space at the heart of her research. She has presented her performances in Europe and Canada. She has had solo exhibitions at Le Lieu (Quebec City), A Space (Toronto), Articule (Montreal) and most recently at Trace Gallery (Cardiff). Since 1999, she has collaborated with PME and Jacob Wren (experimental theater), choreographers Xavier Le Roi, Dominique Porte and Benoît Lachambre.
