the residency programme for a foreign curator
call for applications
La Galerie, a Contemporary Art Centre located in the suburbs of Paris,
hosts each year a foreign curator in residence for a period of three
months. First organised in 2006, the aim of the residency is to put on an
exhibition at La Galerie within the context of an art centre, and to meet
artists and professionals working in the contemporary art field in France.
Free accommodation is provided (including costs of electricity, gas,
internet, phone and transport) in a 65 m2 flat in the centre of
Noisy-le-Sec (10 minutes by train from Paris + 15 minutes walk). The flat
includes a bedroom, a living room/kitchen and a workspace. In addition
there is a cellar connected to the flat.
A total budget of 25,000 is provided by the art centre to cover artists'
and curators travel costs, the curators fee (3000 ), transport of art
works, insurance costs, production costs, publicity(invitations, flyers,
poster, etc), the publication of a 16 page bilingual French/ English
leaflet and of a 12 page leaflet for children.
A short visit (3 days) will be organised before the residency period in
order to see the space, meet the team and do some studio visits with
artists.
INFORMATION ABOUT LA GALERIE
La Galerie is one of the 45 Contemporary Art Centres in France, publicly
funded by the City of Noisy-le-Sec, the DRAC Ile-de-France - Ministry of
Culture and Communication, the Seine-Saint- Denis département and the
Ile-de-France region. Founded in 1999, La Galerie offers a programme based
on the notion of art as a sensory experience and a reflection of our
relation to the world through a conceptual approach. Four exhibitions a
year (two monographic, two thematic) offer hitherto unseen works by
internationally recognized artists together with those of emerging French
artists. The centre's main activities are to produce art works, publish
bilingual reference publications, host artists and curators in residence
and develop educational activities in relation to the artistic programme.
EXHIBITION SPACE
The exhibition space is 140 m2 on street level.
