prog@dare-dare.orgSince his first professional experiences around 1995, Martin Dufrasne has explored various dimensions (creation, management, hosting artists-in-residence, organization of events, and theoretical forums, teaching, curating, publishing), disciplines (sculpture, installation, photography, video, action art) and contexts (in galleries, in natural environments or in the public space) of contemporary art. He is formed and evolves within collectives. First at the studio L'Oreille coupée, from which the artists' center LE LOBE was developed, then at the heart of the production center in contemporary art TouTTouT that he co-founded with 11 artists.
It is first as an audience member, in the middle of the 90s, that he is linked to DARE-DARE. In 2007, with Carl Bouchard, with whom he conducts an interdisciplinary practice in duo, he was invited to present a conference as part of the event Pratiques du territoire II. In 2009, after a second invitation (this time to present a performance as part of the event VIVA! Art action), he decided to get involved in the artist-run center by participating in the annual general assembly. In 2010, he replaced the programming coordinator who was on maternity leave. Since then, he remains involved in the team, either by assuming the coordination alone or, alternately, with the various colleagues with whom he has shared this work in tandem.
Martin Dufrasne was born in Montréal in 1967. His work has been presented in museums, galleries, artist-run centers, venues, and in various solo and group exhibitions, biennials, and performance festivals; in Québec and abroad.
