Programming

On June 20, La HALTE will come alive with three events featuring three artists. Andréanne Martin will launch her book Les seins ballants je m'en vais au vent; Daniel Fiset will present the culmination of his research on the Sud-Ouest neighborhood; and Yamile Villamil Rojas will present Cet invisible qui nous relie, a participatory performance.

Shortly before the pandemic, a small group of Montreal artists were given access to a vacant apartment in a century-old building. They spent time there alone, and later in pairs. Unforgettable conversations emerged—among themselves, but also with the singular space they inhabited.

The Sudbury Alternative Art Fair (FAAS), organized by the Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario, brings together visual and multidisciplinary artists from across the Canadian Francophonie. At each edition, DARE-DARE delegates one of its member artists to participate. For this eighth edition, Guillaume Dufour-Morin presented his performance Processions.

This residency program runs continuously for 8 weeks. DARE-DARE seeks to foster a deeper, close-knit relationship between a professional artist (who does not reside in the metropolitan area) and the Saint-Henri and Petite-Bourgogne neighbourhoods, and provides dedicated support throughout the residency.

For forty years, DARE-DARE has moved forward as a pathfinder — at times a tightrope walker, often stepping sideways. It has surfaced where least expected, claimed the in-between spaces, shifted the lines, choosing productive friction over the straight and narrow. Forty years of treating art as an active verb: to spill over, to infiltrate, to connect.

In collaboration with DARE-DARE, the festival will host artist Jochi Muñoz. True to its tradition, DARE-DARE favours in situ performance practices that incorporate spatial and temporal perspective as both a formal and conceptual component of the work.

For the fourth edition of the CONFLUENCES residency, DARE-DARE welcomes Caroline Loncol Daigneault for an eight-week period. Her project, titled Maman, papa et les masques de l’avant-nuit, is developed in collaboration with the Alzheimer Society Montreal.

To mark the 40th anniversary of DARE-DARE and the 50th anniversary of La Centrale galerie Powerhouse, the two artist-run centers are reuniting to reinterpret their former collaborative project “ Les après-midi littéraires ”.

As part of the RCAAQ's Montreal-Havana project, in collaboration with DARE-DARE, GIV and OBORO, La HALTE will host the exhibition All That Is Lost Comes Back, by Camila Ramírez Lobón and Amed Aroche, curated by Anamely Ramos González.

Passeport DARE-DARE 2024, whose theme is “Are we burning the candle at both ends?”, is an artistic rally project in which the public is invited to collect the work of 10 artists scattered around the Sud-Ouest district.

For the third edition of the CONFLUENCES residency, DARE-DARE welcomes Roberto Santaguida for 8 weeks. His "no date" project, which revolves around the hidden histories of the South-West, is being developed in collaboration with a literacy group and an elementary school class.

DARE-DARE invites artists to take part in the 2024 edition of its biennial Passeport event, with this year's theme: Avec les moyens du bord - Amour et bouts de chandelles.

Author, curator and artist Janick Burn invites you to the DARE-DARE offices to take part in Lire entre les lignes, a reading and writing workshop arising from her micro-residency at La HALTE.

The open-air exhibition presents the results of research carried out in partnership by the École d'architecture de l'Université de Montréal and the artist-run center DARE-DARE.

True to its tradition, DARE-DARE favors in situ action art practices that incorporate a perspective on space and time as a formal and conceptual component of the work.

As part of the Little Burgundy Street Festival, DARE-DARE invites you to a storytelling event featuring Tania Baladi in Parc Sainte-Cunégonde.
