Retrospective exhibition of the works created in artistic residencies.
GuestRoomMaribor, the program of international artistic residencies, opened its door in October 2011 and accepted its first guests. In the meantime a lot of artists from all over the world visited Maribor and in one-month stay created projects inspired by the city, its culture and history. In almost a year GuestRoomMaribor' "art collection" grew and refined and at the end of the project, which was sponsored and made possible by Maribor 2012 – European Capital of Culture, we want to present this rich and diverse collection to the public. Artists have individualy presented, before the end of their stay, their projects to the public in the gallery at Koroška street 18, but concerning its content and context, the collection deserves further attention. With retrospective exhibition of works created in Maribor between October 2011 and September 2012 we are going to confront all the works and present once again – this time together – to the city and its inhabitants all the artists that co-created cultural climate in Maribor.
