Elodie Gallina

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.
