Le Centre de recherche urbaine de Montréal (CRUM) vous convie à une cérémonie de coupe du ruban inaugurant le 0,01% d'articule, une série d'interventions permanentes in situ se développant, au cours de l'année, dans et autour de la galerie. Créé à partir de la politique de Réponse aux concepts artistiques (RCA) développée par le CRUM, le programme d'art public 0,01% célèbre et souligne les 30 ans de participation d'articule à l'environnement culturel montréalais.

Le Centre de recherche urbaine de Montréal (CRUM) est un groupe de recherche symbiotique (parasite) qui ne possède pas de lieu de diffusion. Il utilise les réseaux de diffusion existants pour présenter des projets divers. Le CRUM regroupe cinq artistes issus de différentes disciplines - théorie de l'architecture, gestion des ressources documentaires, conception sonore expérimentale, esthétique urbaine et entretien universel - qui partagent une passion pour la recherche de liens entre l'art et l'environnement urbain.

The CRUM invites you to a ribbon-cutting ceremony to inaugurate articule's 0.01%, a series of site-specific permanent interventions, evolving in and around the gallery, throughout the year. Created through the CRUM's Response to Artistic Concepts (RAC) policy, the 0.01% public art program celebrates and affirms articule's 30-year integration with Montreal's cultural environment.

The Centre de recherche urbaine de Montréal (CRUM) is a symbiotic (parasitic) research group with no exhibition space of its own. It uses pre-existing networks to present diverse projects. The CRUM is composed of five members with varied backgrounds - architectural theory, information science, experimental sound composition, urban aesthetics, and universal maintenance - who share a common interest in collaboratively exploring links between art and urban space.
