For forty years, DARE-DARE has moved forward as a pathfinder — at times a tightrope walker, often stepping sideways. It has surfaced where least expected, claimed the in-between spaces, shifted the lines, choosing productive friction over the straight and narrow. Forty years of treating art as an active verb: to spill over, to infiltrate, to connect.

André-Éric Létourneau
André-Éric Létourneau is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice has, since the late 1980s, brought together visual arts, experimental music, performance, radiophonic art, and digital media. At the core of his work are social situations and interventions in public space, as well as an ongoing exploration of media, collective memory, and communication. He has presented more than fifty contextual works in festivals, galleries, museums, and public spaces around the world, including the Paris Biennale and the East African Biennale. His interdisciplinary approach, often associated with action art and sociological art, challenges the boundaries between art, everyday life, and media, while integrating music, sound, and performance as tools for creation and critical reflection.
