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.

Nicolas Rivard
Nicolas Rivard is an interdisciplinary artist whose artistic practice consists of integrating himself into the mechanisms of sociality to reveal its main mechanisms. He holds a master's degree in art history on intervention art, and his professional career has led him to collaborate with several art organizations and cultural institutions interested in the integration of art in public spaces.
He has been a member of DARE-DARE since 2015 and has served on its Board for 5 years. He has contributed to the publication SATELLITE. He is a teacher in art history at Cégep de l'Outaouais and taught cultural mediation at Cégep de Saint-Laurent for 5 years. He also acts as a specialist for the policy of integration of arts in architecture. As an artist, his work has been presented in Canada, Europe and Africa.
