Description

Dazibao is a contemporary art center and non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination and mediation of contemporary image practices, privileging artistic experimentation, enquiry and reflection related to current social issues. Dazibao is dedicated to the development and presentation of original artworks by Canadian artists whose contemporary practices are founded on the image. Providing the public an opportunity to create links between local and global discourses, such works are presented alongside works by international artists thus contextualizing their relevance within a broader art ecology. By questioning the discourses, uses and modes of disseminating images, Dazibao explores artistic as well as historical and social issues, sharing them with the various communities that make up Montreal’s diversity. / Centre d’art actuel, Dazibao est un organisme à but non lucratif dédié à la diffusion et à la médiation des pratiques actuelles de l’image qui privilégie l’essai, la recherche et la réflexion en lien avec des enjeux de société actuels.
