the residency programme for a foreign curator

call for applications

DESCRIPTION OF THE RESIDENCY PROGRAMME
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.
In 2010, exhibition proposals will have to deal with the city as an image.
The selected exhibition proposal will be part of the “Art Grandeur Nature”
biennial in Seine-Saint-Denis department.

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 curator’s travel costs, the curator’s 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.

In addition to the residency period, a one-week stay will be paid to the
curator in order to supervise the installation of the works in the
exhibition space and to attend the opening of the exhibition.
