This residency is run as one on one to give you a solo show for 1~4 weeks depending on your needs and timeline. Very flexible and customized for you. You can opt in/out for a living space (in Roma, which is the most buzzing and hip neighborhood in Mexico City) and you can also choose an exhibition space between white-wall galley (in Centro, which is a bit far from Roma, always with heavy traffic) vs the living space apartment. Quite often Lester (a founder and owner of the gallery) is a curator to help you enthusiastically to develop your solo show. You get very engaged and dedicated input from the curator and also have access to hire some local performance artists to elevate your show. Downside is that it’s short of resources (as an one-person gallery and residency) to handle multiple artists/projects at once and there could be some confusion or unexpected cost of money or time and sales opportunity is limited as there’s no dedicated person or team to make sales of your artworks. So artists should be ready to really commit to it and make a great show. But in general, the curatorial advises you get can push your limits and help you grow as an artist.
