Toute impression subjectivement inappropriée de familiarité d’une expérience présente avec un passé indéfiniRead moreThis project is the result of a long reflection on the relationship between repetition, experience and language. It is a performance realized by a group of performers who carry out several distinct actions in the public space.
Watching the Apple Trees Blossom (le début est la fin d’un cycle continu)
Victoria Stanton - The Sanctimonious Sect of Nothing Is SacredRead moreAnd what about bringing this quest into an art context? The opportunity to embark on this slippery, if not contradictory task (that of Doing Nothing) within the frame of DARE-DARE’s mandate became an instance of prolonged embodied research into the more imperceptible areas of art-making and artistic process. Exploring the invisible, liminal spaces in art has been a long-standing preoccupation of mine, and The Sanctimonious Sect of Nothing Is Sacred became an invaluable container, and occasion, within which to delve even more deeply into this burgeoning area of performative practice.
TALKING ABOUT NOTHING WITH... Sylvie Tourangeau
Victoria Stanton - The Sanctimonious Sect of Nothing Is SacredRead more“What are the ways in which free time infiltrates our body? Free time: a notion… a sensation… a parallel universe… a practice… an SOS…”.

Nothing In Nothing With Nothing (Not Even a Computer!)
Victoria Stanton - The Sanctimonious Sect of Nothing Is SacredRead moreIs it possible to create a space of Nothing, of rest and interval – smack dab in the middle of one’s day and one’s daily life?

Watching the Montreal Skyline Disappear
Victoria Stanton - The Sanctimonious Sect of Nothing Is SacredRead moreAs a resident of the Southwest in Montreal, I often take the bike path along the Lachine Canal to get to several points across the city both east and north. In the short six years I’ve been living down here, with each new condo development going up, the cityscape – a once prominent and attractive feature of this path – has been basically vanishing.

TALKING ABOUT NOTHING WITH... Le Collectif Vierge
Victoria Stanton - The Sanctimonious Sect of Nothing Is SacredRead moreLe Collectif Vierge. In a society where value is given to tangible productivity and efficaciousness, we are questioning our relationship to non-action and to nothingness. Is it actually okay to do nothing?

Getting Real with the Royal: Space-Out Solstice
Victoria Stanton - The Sanctimonious Sect of Nothing Is SacredRead moreThe next non-event is scheduled to take place on June 20, in honour of the Summer Solstice.

Please come with Open Hearts and, if possible, No Expectations. Not sure exactly what will happen, but I think it will be Real.
