Micro-residency at La Halte - Lire entre les lignes

Janick Burn

Author, curator and artist Janick Burn invites you to the DARE-DARE offices to take part in Lire entre les lignes, a reading and writing workshop arising from her micro-residency at La HALTE.

Saturday, December 9, 1 pm - 3 pm
2515 Delisle Street, Montreal

During her micro-residency at La HALTE, Janick Burn explored her experience of reading and what lies on its periphery. To pursue her research, the artist proposes a reading and writing workshop to observe, explore and collectively reflect on different strategies for investing the off-field through the experience of reading. For example, we'll be looking at how reading can enable us to think about space outside the text, and even influence our ways of being. These questions will be addressed through an open and subjective approach of the artistic practice.

The workshop lasts around two hours, and consists of individual exercises, sharing and relaxed discussion. No special experience or preparation is required. Just bring your writing material !

Janick Burn is an artist, curator and author. Originally from the Outaouais/Anishinabewaki region, she has lived in Montréal/Tio'tia:ké for several years. Her practical and theoretical research focuses on the relationship between body and frame, which she addresses through a reflexive approach to performance, image and writing.

Most recently, she organized the group exhibition Exposer avec l'autoédition to expose the self, which was presented at the AdMare artist-run center (Îles-de-la-Madeleine, 2022) and at Arprim (Montreal, 2023). Her work as an artist has been seen in several performance events and exhibition venues, including Galerie de l'Université de Montréal (2020), Plein sud (Longueuil, 2019) and Musée d'art de Rouyn-Noranda (2019).

She is currently pursuing her research in the context of residencies at Est-Nord-Est (Saint- Jean-Port-Joli, 2023) and La Chambre blanche (Québec, 2024), and regularly publishes texts in contemporary art magazines.
