For its 2017-2018 programming, DARE-DARE proposes to work again with the idea of RENDEZ-VOUS SOCIETY. This is a call out to artists that aspire to inscribe art in daily life; that want to immerse themselves in social environments using all manners of strategies, and within the confines of a wide range of time frames.
Teams
Steve Giasson
Steve Giasson is a conceptual artist with a PhD in Art Studies and Practices from the Université du Québec à Montréal. His engaging, deadpan practice draws on pre-existing works or fragments of history and everyday life, which he appropriates in a variety of ways, in order to challenge romantic notions of authenticity and originality and demystify the creative process and the figure of the artist. His works are characterized by a great economy of means and by their use of different media (performance art, photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, conceptual writing...).
His work has been shown in fourteen countries in North America, Europe and Asia, in over a dozen solo exhibitions and numerous group shows, including Liverpool Biennial 2012, Text Festival 2011 and 2014 (Manchester), ED RUSCHA BOOKS & Co. at Museum Brandhorst (2013, Munich) and Gagosian Gallery (2013, New York City, 2015, Paris and 2016, Beverly Hills) and Morni Hills Performance Art Biennale II (2018, Morni Hills and Chandigarh, India).
