During the time of their residency, the artists of Villa Romana have been trying out and concocting strategies of cohabitation that foster space for reciprocal listening and mutuality while also allowing multiplicity and un-domesticated and critical forms of collective imagination.  In this exhibition, the artists become a chamber of resonance for each other. Their work is intertwined in a conversation that goes beyond the reverberating, the dialogic, and sometimes even the parasitic relation to each other that they perform. It composes an open partiture that branches off in other and multifarious directions. Into trajectories sometimes explored and other times yet to unfold. Confabulations between the private and the common space of their encounters, which might possibly simply get interrupted before generating something. Or not.
