The Villa Exarchia Residency provides artists, academics and creatives from all walks of life with lodging, facilities and an exhibition. This is a unique residency that focuses upon craft, theory and social engagement with exciting possibilities for networking with other creative practitioners in Greece.

 

Other activities include public workshops, performances and events by visiting artists. Candidatures for our residency program, and letters of interest for creative collaboration are reviewed on a rolling basis.

 This first edition in a series of seasonal exhibitions, features sculptures and paintings by Greek and international artists who have transformed and framed reality with nuanced and otherworldly approaches. While the dichotomies between the “other,” the inconspicuous, and consciousness itself, is suggested in Plato’s parable of the cave, the observations and works of these artists are particularly noteworthy in a day and age when the lines between overt individualism and meta-unconsciousness are often blurred.

Giannoussis’ interdisciplinary practice focuses on cultural movement and hybridity through the mnemonic property of spaces and objects. During this residency, the Greek-Canadian artist explored how objects and spaces uphold collective memories while immersing himself in diasporic migrant neighborhoods of Athens in order to understand the “familiarity” that characterises Greek communities worldwide. Giannousis' practice explores queerness and the hybrid identity of a diasporic Greek with deep cultural ties to both Canada (Quebec) and Greece.

Melbourne-based artist Felix Atkinson will be reflecting upon the physical and cultural landscape of Athens through a series of portraits while exploring the relationships between qualities of the monumental and humanity itself. In his practice, Atkinson creates paintings that convey a sense of intimacy and candor while portraying relationships that attribute importance to the human form and identity.
