Context
With Dis/location: projet d’articulation urbaine, DARE-DARE established a framework for research and presentation of contextual and public art practices. This urban exploration is achieved through successive moorings of socially and politically rich projects within the City of Montreal. Thus, since 2004, the mandate of DARE-DARE has been to promote interventions in the urban environment.
In July 2008 DARE-DARE began the third phase of Dis/location and the eventual move from Cabot Square. By the summer of 2009 its two administrative office trailers had been located at the intersection of Dufresne and Larivière streets near the Frontenac métro. For more information on the Faubourgs district and on the Center please visit DARE-DARE’s Web Site at www.dare-dare.org
Call for intentions
Since the beginning of Dis/location, DARE-DARE has explored presentation contexts by supporting emergent artistic practices focused on experimentation and risk-taking. Through the theory and experimentation that both emanates from and forms the Center, DARE-DARE is looking to the 2010 and 2011 artistic programming schedule to push the limits and extend the innovative concept of the Center.
DARE-DARE is looking for audacious projects that question the operational realities of the Center and/or projects of a contextual and public art nature that use infiltration, interference, furtiveness, and diversion/variation. The projects, which interact with reality - with the everyday - could use satellite locations, could evolve or could be developed through circumstance. DARE-DARE invites artists to speculate on the future of the Center and on art in the urban context by rethinking ideas of displacement, uncertainty and precariousness through the infiltration of various locations and contexts. DARE-DARE is searching for geographically, theoretically, poetically or politically focused proposals that feed the reflexive and experiential notions of Dis/location.
Your proposals can take different forms. Be inventive! :
-Create possible infiltration scenarios.
-Shaped fables or stories about spaces of diversion/variation produced by/for Dis/location?
-Through an infiltrating or speculative project image how Dis/location could operate differently.
-Fantasizing about the ideal context for presentation beyond the confines of walls?
Your intended project could take the form of public intervention, performance, event, round-table, publication, conference/workshop, Web site or others that could be a specific period, variable duration or repeated over time.
A preliminary selection will be taken from the proposals and the research intentions received. Following this, DARE-DARE could invite selected artists to provide more precise details about their project, after which the final selection will be made, sometime in early spring 2010.
With an ecological mind, DARE-DARE invites you to submit your dossier on a CD/DVD.
Your dossier should comprise:
• A text describing your research intention (max. 200 words) (.doc, .pdf),
• A curriculum vitae (.doc, .pdf),
• A detailed text describing your work (.doc, .pdf),
• Ten (10) digital images (max. 1 MB),
• A short list describing the images (.doc, .pdf),
• One audio or video (max. 5 mins.) and all related documents,
• Press clippings (if available) (.doc, .pdf)
The Center does not accept proposals via email. You may include a self-addressed-stamped-envelope for the return of your documents (the Center will not keep unclaimed proposals). The Center respects the CARFAC fee structure.
DARE-DARE offers:
• Exhibition fee of $ 1700
• Author’s rights of $ 50
• Project promotion
