CREATION PROGRAMS
Artist Residency
Research and Creation
Support for First Works
Photography and Digital Imaging

Located in the La Filature building - a former magnificently renovated industrial textile mill - DAÏMÔN offers creation, production and dissemination resources in the areas of media arts and photography. Slightly at a distance from the large urban centers, DAÏMÔN is a creative environment in the Outaouais region which is conducive to the research and development of small as well as large scale artistic projects.

By way of its programs Artiste résident, (resident artist), Recherche et création, (research and development), Photographie et impression numérique (photography and digital printing) and Soutien aux premières œuvres, (support for first works), DAÏMÕN encourages artists to push the limits of their practice and to develop new approaches with image, video, as well as sound and electronic art, including installation, interactive and performative practices.

With its STUDIÕ, production and exhibition spaces, DAÏMÕN encourages the materialization and installation of, and experimentation with, works of significant scale as well as the development of transversal practices. Public and informal meetings are regularly organized in order to allow the local community to familiarize itself with the work of artists in residence.

DAÏMÕN provides artists with access to image and sound recording equipment and digital audio and video editing suites. A darkroom enables large scale (1m 32) silver emulsion development from negatives of up to 280 mm. A digital printing service (EPSON Stylus 9600 Pro) is also available.

CREATION PROGRAMS

Artist Residency
Offered to professional artists outside the Ottawa-Gatineau region, this program aims to promote fruitful exchange between artists from here and elsewhere. Established, mid-career artists with at least five years of active and significant practice are invited to apply.

A multipurpose STUDIÕ is available to resident artists for the experimentation, production and presentation of work requiring a specific technical infrastructure. DAÏMÕN organises a public presentation, including a brief exhibition at the STUDIÕ and an evening artist’s talk, in which the artist presents their past and present work.

For each of the projects the centre provides a residency of 4 to 6 weeks including accommodation, access to the Centre’s equipment, and the services of a technician (60 hours), as well as covering the cost of cassettes, disks and duplication. An artist’s fee of $1200 is provided. In some cases, DAÏMÕN is also able to provide travel allowance and cover limited daily expenses. All other production costs are the responsibility of the artist.

Research and Creation
Open to professional emerging, mid-career or established artists. DAÏMÕN selects six artists annually, four from the Ottawa-Gatineau region and two from elsewhere. The Centre encourages applications from artists from non-central Francophone communities.

DAÏMÕN privileges projects emphasising the increasingly complex interrelations between media and those that push the limits of intermedia rather than simply addressing the vocabulary of the chosen media. Only projects involving a degree of research will be considered.

Photography and Digital Imaging
This program aims to improve the support offered to artists working on paper using darkroom or digital imaging techniques.

DAÏMÕN provides each artist with technical and artistic support, access to the Centre’s equipment for two (2) weeks and the services of a technician (15 hours). All other production costs are the responsibility of the artist. Artists using darkroom facilities must provide their own development chemicals and photographic paper.

Support for First Works
DAÏMÕN continues its support for the production of a first work for three artists from the Ottawa-Gatineau region and is piloting a new mentoring program for emerging artists. Admissible projects include the production of an original work using video or the application of hybrid media in artwork, fiction, essays, documentary or experimental work.

Young artists from the Ottawa-Gatineau region with basic training are invited to apply to create a first work in photo, video or new media in a professional context. Professional artists from the Ottawa-Gatineau region with an established practice in another discipline (painting, sculpture, photography, installation, etc.) who wish to develop a production in video or new media are also encouraged to apply.

DAÏMÕN provides each artist with technical and artistic support, access to the Centre’s equipment for three (3) weeks and the services of a technician (40 hours). All other production costs are the responsibility of the artist.
