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.
Teams
Nadège Grebmeier Forget
Nadège Grebmeier Forget is active in the contemporary art field as an interdisciplinary artist, project coordinator, creative advisor, and artistic director. Best known for her long-duration performances, presented live and in private settings, she develops, through her projects, a critical reflection on this medium by examining its modes of presentation, the issues surrounding its documentation, and the potential of its mediation. Her work draws on the vocabulary of feminisms, with her own body and personal psyche serving as mediums for observation, research, and transformation.
Grebmeier Forget has participated in numerous events, festivals, conferences, and residencies in Canada, Europe, and the United States. She is the first performance artist to receive the Pierre-Ayot Prize (2019) from the City of Montréal, awarded in partnership with the Association des galeries d’art contemporain (AGAC).
