Another Point of View
La Galerie - Contemporary Art Centre, Noisy-le-Sec
The exhibition examines how artists work with images of the everyday and give them a different meaning. The artists search and investigate our cities and surroundings, making us stop and look at imagery that we have ignored and overlooked. They share an interest in the possibilities of presenting past and present, and blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality. Guest curator: Carolina Grau.

"The exhibition 'Another Point of View' examines how artists work with images of the everyday and give them a different meaning. The artists search and investigate our cities and surroundings, making us stop and look at imagery that we have ignored and overlooked. Considering our world from new positions, they bring into focus small details as well as the big picture. 'Another Point of View' presents a new manner of viewing things, a new standpoint from which something is observed and a story is related, a different attitude.
The five artists in the exhibition share an interest in the possibilities of presenting past and present, and blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality. They investigate omitted footage, take new pictures and tell stories. We accompany them on their walks, drifting through the city, discovering street corners, shop windows and views from the tops of buildings." (Carolina Grau)
Annual residency programme for curators at Noisy-le-Sec / Paris, France
Since 2006, La Galerie has hosted foreign curators for an annual three-month residency, in order to support an exhibition in a French contemporary art centre and allowing a discovery of the Île-de-France contemporary scene (artists, professionals, other organizations…). The annual residency for curators at La Galerie is receiving the backing of DRAC Île-de-France (Ministry of Culture).
Carolina Grau is a Spanish curator. Selected by La Galerie's board via a call for application to achieve her project 'Another Point of View', she was in residence at Noisy-le-Sec from April to July 2010.
La Galerie is a non-profit institution publicly financed by the City of Noisy-le-Sec, with the support of DRAC Ile-de-France/Ministry of Culture and Communication Regional Cultural Affairs Board, the Seine-Saint-Denis Department and the Ile-de-France region.
