Holding
Master's degrees in Applied Foreign Languages and in Cultural Managment, Elodie
Gallina's research interests focus on visual arts, music and sonic creation.
After a
first experience in London as a communication assistant, she joined an
independent French label called Ici d’ailleurs in Nancy and supported
the development of experimental and contemporary music at Why Note in Dijon.
In 2006, in
frame of the production of the Continuum festival, organized by Why Note along
with the art center Le Consortium, she met drone music pioneer Eliane Radigue
as well as famous composer Charles Curtis, among other sound artists.
This
experience led her to undertake researches into the materiality of sound and to
seek out the shapes of the invisible.
After
several experimental music projects on her own, she wrote an essay about
« sound art », exploring the connections between sound and visual
arts.
She
observed perception/reception concepts, featuring art installations and
spatiotemporal contexts. Revealing the space as a territory for mental and
emotional experiment, she examined it as an interval where
sound/silence revolve around environment,
object and the self.
Alongside
her researches, her photographs depicting ordinary environments slowly trigger
emotions and invite us to a new understanding of reality.
Currently AIR curator at the European Art Center CEAAC
in Strasbourg, she is managing the international residencies along the artistic
production for the international space gallery. Still invested in the music
field, she cooperates with visual and sonic artitst to question the status of
the sound at the time of the dematerialization of the art object.
