RU Exhibition: Living Room Portfolio—Island Daydreaming 📅 On view: Saturday June 7 and Sunday June 8, 2025 | 11:00am – 5:00pm
Saturday June 7, 2025 | 3:00pm, 1st floor of the house – Performance “LA CASA BONITA” by CONSUELA DEL VALLE GRANDE 📍 RU House at Colonels Row, Building #404B on Governors Island
Join us for a weekend of artistic interventions by Milena Keller, Noah Reusser (
@speedmaus ), and Daniela Ruocco (
@__la__poderosa ) at the RU House on Governors Island (
@governorsisland ). Curated by Data Chigholashvili (
@datachme ), “Island Daydreaming” is the second edition of “Living Room Portfolio”—an experimental exhibition format, which reflects on residencies as experiences of exchange. The artists become temporary “hosts” and showcase works in the unique context of this venue—a former residential house on a multilayered island.
The living rooms of the house, temporarily transformed by the artists, offer moments of island daydreaming. Noah Reusser presents drawings, texts, and sound, which are fragments from a work in progress. Milena Keller’s video installation explores the notions of “nature” and “natural,” asking, “where do plants belong and what are people supposed to do?” Daniela Ruocco’s CONSUELA DEL VALLE GRANDE is a temporary host in another living room, exploring identity in flux through photographs and fictionalized versions of herself. CONSUELA will perform “LA CASA BONITA” on June 7—come and experience “poesía perreadora” where the works of Latinx poets are transformed into feminist reggaeton songs.
This program is supported by Canton of Berne Office of Culture / Cultural Promotion.
