SATELLITE PROJECT
To start its 26th birthday with a bang, DARE-DARE is programming an ambitious project entitled SATELLITE. During this two-month adventure, DARE-DARE will travel to Detroit and Tijuana for three-week “artist-organization-in-residencies” in each city. Both destinations offer interesting intervention contexts and are located in border zones. At each, we will connect with partner organizations with similar mandates and simultaneously present DARE-DARE and our vision to an audience outside of Montréal.
SATELLITE promises to be an extraordinary showcase of DARE-DARE’s mandate of programming critical and risk-taking artistic practices in public spaces which question and renew the concept of presence and contribute to the diversification of present modes of art making through artistic interventions in city space.
At each location, DARE-DARE will rent a mobile office, which will function as a base for programming events and the headquarters for projects requiring a workshop. In so doing, DARE-DARE re-creates our mobile reality in Montréal, offering participants a chance to engage with our artist-run-centre as if they were in Québec, in a sense.
In both Detroit and Tijuana, two Canadians and a local collective will be invited by DARE-DARE to create and present a new project, conceived specifically for these contexts. During this time, in Montreal, regular programming will be put in relay with those diffused in SATELLITE’s orbit.
