DARE-DARE
Centre DARE-DARE is continuing its Dis/location: projet d’articulation urbaine mandate, started in 2004, by devoting its programming exclusively to public art projects for which the city is the framework for presentation. The centre’s explorations are conducted through successive moorings, lasting two or three years, in parts of the city that offer rich contexts for questioning social, political, historical, and urban issues. Since 2012, the Dare-Dare trailer has been situated beside the Saint-Laurent métro station, in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles. This urban space has served as a platform of dissemination for a project of public writings: aphorisms, poems, and statements are displayed on a lit-up panel near the trailer. To date, the panel has displayed short texts by fourteen artists — slogans, haikus, or tweets.
