About

Mission

The Centre d’art et de diffusion CLARK is an artist-run centre dedicated to the production and the presentation of contemporary art. CLARK has many entities, both physical and virtual, each with its own function. The two main components of the Centre are its gallery, comprised of two exhibition spaces where over ten exhibitions are presented each year, as well as special projects, and the Atelier CLARK, a cabinetmaking and woodworking workshop supporting the artistic community. The Centre also houses a Poste audio, where five sound works are broadcasted each year, the Librairie CLARK, which offers publication launches and readings, and a residency studio. CLARK produces several off-site projects, particularly in performance art, and collaborates with a wide range of cultural and community partners.

History

Since its beginnings on Clark Street in downtown Montréal in 1988, the organization quickly took its place as an important stage for contemporary creativity in Montreal. In 2001, the Centre was relocated, and a space at 5455 avenue de Gaspé in the neighbourhood of Mile End was selected as Centre CLARK’s next location. Since its relocation, CLARK has become an important focal point for its members and the communities it serves.

Land acknowledgment

The Centre d’art et de diffusion CLARK is located on unceded Indigenous territory. The Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation is recognized as the custodian of the lands and waters of Tiohtià:ke (Montreal), which has long served as a place for many First Nations to live, meet and exchange. CLARK also wishes to recognize the strong ties that unite the Anishinaabe Nation to this territory known by these people as Mooniyang. Today, the Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang lands are home to a diverse Indigenous population, as well as people from other peoples who reside there. The Centre respects the ongoing connections to the past, present and future in its relationships with Indigenous Peoples and other members of the communities living on this territory.
