DEPROGRAMMING
Call for Proposals Programming Year 2026-2027
Deadline: December 16, 2025, 11:59 pm EST

For its 2026-2027 programming year, articule has chosenDEPROGRAMMING as its theme. Following a move in the middle of the pandemic, staff turnover, burnout, and financial uncertainty, articule is scheduling some time to recalibrate. We invite you to transformand adapt our space, to try out fresh ideas, and to make old ideas new again.

Taking a break from 6-week exhibitions, we are seeking proposals that may not fit neatly into a white cube, such as public interventions, live art projects, happenings, new artistic practices,public talks, workshops, screeningsany and all sort of undisciplinary activities. We invite local,national and international artists, collectives, art institutions and curators to submit proposals that respond to this theme in whatever way they see fit.

Vernissage: Body-Subject/Le Corps Propre by Joe Espada
December 4th (5-7pm) - Vav Gallery

Body-Subject/Le Corps Propre explores the body as both a repository of personal history and a medium for expressing identity, connection, and emotional traces. The works investigate how the body, as a subject, carries desires and the remnants of lived experiences, revealing often-hidden aspects of selfhood. Each piece explores the tension between what is visible and what remains concealed, reflecting how the body both holds and communicates these intangible aspects of our inner lives.

Vernissage: Poiesis to Praxis
December 4th (7-10pm) - Produit Rien

Curated by Maggie Rossy-Aulman, Poiesis to Praxis is an interdisciplinary exhibition exploring what happens when art moves from creation to action. Bringing together emerging artists from Montreal and beyond, the show investigates the dynamic relationship between aesthetics and social engagement: How does making become doing? When does reflection shift into embodied practice? Can artistic experience itself spark community impact?

Vernissage: Your tears/fears will be 7 colours
December 6th (5-10pm) - 185 rue de Louvain O #402

For one night only, artist Michela Snoyer will host a performance in which she invites attendees to write their fears, distresses, blockages onto a piece of paper which she will then fold into origami hearts and add them to a plexiglass vessel in the centre of the space. The purpose is to collectively release the fears we hold onto while having a visual representation of the unseen burdens we are carrying alongside one another.
