Oh my god!
Description: Installation-performance en 3 étapes, Dévotion, Exaltation et Aveuglement. Je ne présente ici que la première étape intitulée DÉVOTION. C’est un questionnement sur nos croyances et nos certitudes. Installation: Devant nous une grande lame de scie, un disque, un soleil qui symbolise la lumière et la vie mais dont les dents peuvent symboliser l’agressivité, le danger aussi bien que la marche vers l’avant. Au centre, une sphère, symbole de plénitude et de perfection. Elle est placée devant un disque bleu symbole de spiritualité et de sagesse. Au-dessus, au milieud’un disque, un intrus personnage semble nous observer et nous inviter hors de notre zone de confort vers l’inconnu, vers l’aventure. Sur le sol, unecloche et une baguette. Performance : Plus qu’un objet, cette œuvre est un lieu qui est plus dans l’ordre d’une interrogation que dans celui d’une réponse. C’est une proposition dramatique de l’espace qui passe directement par le matériauet qui appelle des images énergiques dans l’inconscient du spectateur. Une ronde sera proposée puis tour à tour chacun sera invité à suivre une série de gestes qui lui feront vivre une expérience unique avec cette installation.
Entrée gratuite.

World Infringement Congress (* you must register for this event )
The first-ever World Infringement Congress is being held in Montreal on Saturday, November 19, 2016 as part of the 13th annual Montreal Infringement Festival!
Set on the heels of the controversial and exclusive third World Fringe Congress, the Infringement Congress was created to tackle important issues in the arts that tend to get glossed over at the original event, which tends to focus mostly on business practices. Instead of discussing business strategies like trademarking, cross-branding and charging artists money to play at “Fringe” festivals, the World Infringement Congress will focus on how to empower artists and communities by challenging corporate interference in the arts.
Set in an old bank that was reclaimed as an arts space, the World Infringement Congress will welcome academics, artists, activists and community stakeholders, as well as infringement festival organizers and “Fringe” managers. The purpose is to explore serious issues and themes in the arts and festivals with a view of finding ways to empower artists and communities. Here is the line up:
10:00 – 10:30 am – Breakfast & Introduction
10: 30 – 11:00 am – Trump, Globalization and Infringement (Der Kosmonaut – Kasai Dear)
11:00 – 11:30 am – Arts in Point Saint Charles (by Fergus V. Keyes)
11:30 am – 12:30 pm – Buffalo Infringement presentation (by Cat McCarthy)
12:30 pm – 1:15 pm – Lunch Break
1:15 pm – 2:00 pm – Last Dance on the Main (Aristofanis Soulikias) & Save the Main (Velma Candyass)
2:00 pm – 3:15 pm – WTF?! (What the Fr*nge?!) by Donovan King
3:15 pm – 4 pm – Fringe Trademark Debate Challenge: The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals, who excluded infringement artists from attending the World Fringe Congress, has been invited to debate their trademark on the word “Fringe”, Canadian Parliamentary style!

Dear Capitalism / Cher Capitalisme
Description: Dear Capitalism / Cher Capitalisme is a DIY visual arts project where you are invited to write a letter or create a work of art addressed to Capitalism itself. Originally hosted by The Rules at the 2016 World Social Forum in Montreal, the event is being resurrected for the 2016 Infringement Festival:
We recognize that enabling people to take time and space for grief and healing from the suffering caused by neoliberal capitalism is an essential part of the midwifing process for moving to a world where beautiful alternatives can flourish. The Dear Capitalism project will hold space for people to do this in the form of a simple interactive art installation, populated with creative, deeply diverse and engaging entries addressing ‘Dear Capitalism’.
The interactive art installation containing these contributions from infringement festival attendees is intended to open up a conversation around ‘grief and healing’ and to provide the opportunity for attendees to contribute their own creative addresses to ‘Capitalism’.
***
Cher Capitalisme / Cher Capitalisme est un projet d’arts visuels de bricolage dans lequel vous êtes invités à écrire une lettre ou à créer une œuvre d’art adressée au capitalisme lui-même. Initialement accueilli par The Rules au Forum social mondial de 2016 à Montréal, l’événement est en cours de ressuscitation pour le festival Infringement de 2016:
Nous reconnaissons que permettre aux gens de prendre le temps et l’espace pour le deuil et la guérison des souffrances causées par le capitalisme néolibéral est une partie essentielle du processus de sage-femme afin de passer à un monde où de belles options peuvent s’offrir. Le projet Cher Capitalisme permettra aux gens de le faire sous la forme d’une installation d’art interactif simple, peuplée d’entrées créatives, profondément diverses et engageantes adressant «Cher capitalisme».
L’installation d’art interactif contenant ces contributions des participants au Festival Infringement vise à engager une conversation sur « le chagrin et la guérison», et à donner aux participants la possibilité d’apporter leurs propres messages créatifs au «capitalisme».

Peace ParkPeace Park
Description: Peace Park is a documentary about a turf war ragging in a small park in the heart of Montreal’s downtown core. Fighting for the public space is a community of lifers that consists of drug dealers, crack addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes, and the homeless. There is also a community of skaters who use this spot because it’s perfect for skateboarding. The two communities battle daily over the space, but there exists a larger conflict with the city and broader elements of society who see both groups as “undesirable”.
Local skateboarder David Boots has chronicled these conflicts for the past 12 years as the city and police embarked on measures bordering on the absurd in an attempt to rid the park of these communities and clean up the area’s image.
The documentary explores the historical importance of the neighborhood and how a series of attempts by the city to clean up the area has contributed to the current situation in the park. It looks at the present political conflicts between corporate greed and grassroots artists, and how different forms of underground culture, particularly skateboarding and graffiti, have made their mark on the public space.
A theme of tolerance is weaved throughout the story, told through interviews and personal accounts matched with raw, violent and highly disturbing footage that reveals a unique glimpse into the reality of the street life for many metropolitans.
A human perspective is maintained by showing individuals with problems that need addressing instead of a single problem while highlighting broader social and urban problems.
Ticket Price: $5

Rocky Mountain Homelessness
Description: While this is an American documentary, homelessness is a universal problem. In fact, the world is currently dealing with a new kind of homelessness—the refugee who has lost not only home but country due to political conflict.
While many Americans are unemployed or under-employed and saddled with debt, they continue to blame themselves and each other rather than criticize the system that keeps them that way. Why? Do Canadians view homelessness and poverty differently?
As American culture and corporatism are exported to other parts of the world, austerity measures such as cuts to public education and health care are being implemented in other countries as well as in the US
Will this policy of austerity measures coupled with victim-blaming take over the world?
An optional discussion could ensue after the documentary, if people are interested. This documentary is in English.
