Situated in a unique location in the border region, this residency invites artists to reflect on the concept of the border as nature and are invited to explore both the geopolitical borders between Mexico and the United States, as well as liminal spaces and the understandings that separate the body from nature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\"><strong>lagos | Baja California<\/strong> takes place in Irma Sof\u00eda Poeter\u2019s project \u201cArcadia\u201d created around the five elements of matter- Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Ether- where residents will work in the thematic house and studio of Earth in order to foster creation in a natural and unique environment. Dialogue with the artistic communities of Tecate and Tijuana will also be promoted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\">The program offers two modalities: personal (for individual projects) and collaborative (to work alongside the artist Irma Sof\u00eda Poeter). Artists will receive close curatorial and logistical support and will have the opportunity to develop projects that will be shared through lagos&#8217; digital platforms. In addition, they will be able to join local and international professional networks through the Lagos I Platform. The residency is open year-round, with both personal and collaborative modalities, and its duration ranges from 1 to 3 months, with monthly costs that include all basic services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\">The residency invites reflection on the border as nature, understanding this concept both as the physical and geopolitical boundary between Mexico and the United States, and from a broader perspective\u2014as a &#8220;natural&#8221; border, such as the boundary between Earth and space, the boundaries between species, or any condition of limit between the ideas of Border and Nature that the applying artists may imagine. The program offers personalized curatorial support and emphasizes situated creation and intercultural\u00a0dialogue.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mexico-Berl\u00edn based art studio and residency space dedicated to the production and promotion of contemporary art projects.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38046,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"b9e7b6d15e5b3662afcbbd8db24d8232_lat":"32.563609","b9e7b6d15e5b3662afcbbd8db24d8232_lng":"-116.6256752","featured_venue":"","direccion_google_maps":"Tecate, Baja California, Mexico"},"etiquetas-del-venue":[1585],"categoria-del-venue":[1531,2348,1538,2227],"ubicacion-del-venue":[1208],"class_list":["post-38045","venues","type-venues","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","etiquetas-del-venue-artes-visuales","categoria-del-venue-galeria","categoria-del-venue-rentadeestudios","categoria-del-venue-residencias","categoria-del-venue-servicios-culturales","ubicacion-del-venue-mexico"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venues\/38045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/venues"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/venues"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"etiquetas-del-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiquetas-del-venue?post=38045"},{"taxonomy":"categoria-del-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria-del-venue?post=38045"},{"taxonomy":"ubicacion-del-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themesh.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ubicacion-del-venue?post=38045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
