Programming

For the next four years, DARE-DARE and SenseLab have decided to combine their strengths and encourage the recurrence of sporadic encounters that will take the form of a reading circle, spontaneous forums and micro-events; to pollinate ideas and perspectives and to generate thought together.

Interweaving imagination and collective memory, Claire Moeder composes the stories of 24 inventoried artworks, indices of a sliding heritage and an underground history, all revisited through creative writing.

For five years, twenty-nine artists have been inspired by the socio-environmental context to offer aphorisms, poems and sentences that take the short form of slogan, haiku or tweet.

My lists also track the ordinary. But an invisible ordinary. They give a density to things that leave no trace.

The yellow sign thwarts the idea that everything must have a reason for being and a easily identifiable function. Because art is freer than expected, I want to present simple everyday sentences. Small moments in words.

We consider our equations as opportunities to spot ambiguities and boost the relations between neighboring concepts. Also we would like to offer the chance to all users (author ‐ displayer ‐ viewer) to feel free to manipulate them by changing side at any of the words that appear in an equation.

A gentle immersion into the world of lullabies, BERCER LE TEMPS invites to travel aboard a rocking chair. Set up in the heart of the city, the installation welcomes visitors in a suspended time-space outside of the surrounding urban bustle. Feet on the grass, swinging along, everyone can get carried away by the echoes of childhood through songs from all over the world.

Series of 4 workshops with artists from our programming, in collaboration with the Sud-Ouest borough.

Poetry inspired by the field of administration. A universe that is miles away from my work as an author and artist.

The descriptions presented are 10 examples of Google searches I conducted. For the Public Writing component, the individuals described have been removed from the context in which they were photographed.

The series consists of short poems, highlighting the interweaving of digital culture with the banality of life.

"Windswept" is an ongoing writing project, which explores a young pioneer woman’s transcendentalist journey into the American West.

I stood in front of the space that contains the yellow luminous board. Questions arose like queries, challenges or games proposals. It looked like the beginning of dialogues.

Josée Yvon (1950-1994) is considered by many as the most dangerous writer of Quebec. Danseuses-mamelouk, published in 1982 by VLB editor, resume her first two books by adding a unique section.

I draw sentences from grammar books. Each time I open a grammar book I am stuck by the italic and bold type sentences used as grammatical illustrations. I often set aside the rules of the book and become obsessed by the lost sense of the sentences so sacrificed for grammatical purposes.

I want DARE-DARE’s trailer to be perceived as a pit stop on a journey to nowhere. I chose excerpts from my personal travels on the roads and highways of Quebec, captured moments that seemed to me to be capable of reinventing the trailer’s function.
