Residencies

As part of show.Rooms, a residency is awarded two to three times a year, where a performative installation with participatory elements is created by regional and national artists in and around the show.Rooms Lab. The installation or setting remains on-site for one to two months.

Photographer Marco Lipuš started the first Resindency 2024 with an award-winning project by the Carinthian Cultural Foundation entitled “Obdach/Shelter” at the windows show.Rooms .“Obdach/Shelter”. He used window spaces for this video installation that highlighted homelessness and "draws attention to the widespread disregard for people living on the streets."

The 2nd residency by Barbara Ambrusch-Rapp entitled Liebe Grüße aus Villach-a fempath_global in New York City" took place in fall 2024. The project was shown and realized in two parts in the lab of show.Rooms: On the one hand, as a performative installation entitled “guerrilla art exhibition”.  On the other hand, a performance was realized as a performative intervention in public space at the finissage. In the run-up to the performance, visitors of the exhibition were able to name places in Villach that were then used by Barbara Ambrusch-Rapp as performance locations. The concern and interest of the exhibition and performance was the lack of representation of historical women in public space.
