Residency Unlimited

Res­i­den­cy Unlim­it­ed (RU) is a non-prof­it art orga­ni­za­tion that sup­ports the cre­ation, pre­sen­ta­tion and dis­sem­i­na­tion of con­tem­po­rary art through its unique res­i­den­cy pro­gram and year-round pub­lic pro­grams. RU is locat­ed with­in the for­mer South Con­gre­ga­tion­al Church in Car­roll Gar­dens, Brook­lyn. The space is mul­ti­func­tion­al, act­ing as a hub and meet­ing place for RU’s var­i­ous com­mu­nal activ­i­ties, pub­lic pro­grams, includ­ing talks, screen­ings, per­for­mances and exhi­bi­tions.

Through­out the sea­son, vis­i­tors will be able to inter­act with artists from all over the world and dis­cov­er their mul­ti-dis­ci­pli­nary prac­tices as they devel­op new work through open stu­dio events, curat­ed exhi­bi­tions, work­shops, and performances.

On View

Liv­ing Room Port­fo­lio, Aug 9‑Aug 31
Liv­ing Room Port­fo­lio com­bines works by RU res­i­dent artists, cur­rent and alum­ni: LuLu Meng, Tamar Nis­sim, Lin Qiqing, Asia Szten­cel, Nia Imani Winslow, and Ibti­sam Tas­nim Zaman. The exhi­bi­tion is curat­ed by Data Chigh­o­lashvili, Cura­tor of Res­i­den­cy Unlimited.

Liv­ing Room Port­fo­lio is an exper­i­men­tal exhi­bi­tion for­mat that explores artist res­i­den­cies and the open stu­dio con­cept. Held at the RU House on Gov­er­nors Island — home to artist stu­dios, exhi­bi­tions, and pub­lic events — it fos­ters encoun­ters with inter­na­tion­al artists and insights into glob­al art scenes. For­mer liv­ing rooms in this once-res­i­den­tial house now serve as exhi­bi­tion spaces, while stu­dios occu­py oth­er parts of the build­ing. In this for­mat, stu­dios blend into the exhi­bi­tions, show­cas­ing select­ed works by RU res­i­dent and alum­ni artists. On select days, par­tic­i­pat­ing artists will host vis­i­tors in the space. Along­side their exhib­it­ed works, vis­i­tors can view extend­ed port­fo­lios through­out the house, encour­ag­ing con­ver­sa­tion and deep­er engagement.
