DARE-DARE

DARE-DARE’s 2023-2024 program, “Methods and Games in Space: Habitable Zones I” seeks to reflect, stimulate and activate, in all its diversity, the methodological inventiveness of in situ/in socius artistic practices and their transformative potential. Our mission is to explore, question and develop the practices, spaces and modes of dissemination of contemporary art, and to contribute to its democratization and accessibility. Conceived by a committee comprising Marcela Bórquez, Guillaume Dufour Morin, Sylvie Laplante, Eugenia Reznik, Anouk Verviers and Martin Dufrasne, the program Methods and Games in Space: Habitable zones in its first iteration this year, runs from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. This multidisciplinary program goes beyond a thematic approach and aims to reflect, stimulate and activate, in all its diversity, the methodological inventiveness of in situ/in socius artistic practices and their transformative potential. In the context of updating DARE-DARE’s mandate and its nomadic nature, DARE-DARE wishes to recognize what has been done, is being done and can be done by the artist-run center, and the practices, communities and histories it conjures up. Through their project(s), the artists will seek to question the possible definitions of the word “in situ”, reflecting on spaces in movement, their location, displacement, replacement, metamorphosis, spaces of escape, spaces that flee.
