The Lab Program is a cross-disciplinary art-research laboratory based in Mexico City. Usually hosts one to two resident per month, regardless of their disciplinary background, origin, or artistic experience.
The Lab Program welcomes participants who are interested in exploring spatial narratives, embodiment, public space, and site-specific artistic practices, regardless of the medium of making.
In collaboration with other self-managed art spaces in Mexico City, The Lab Program is ready to receive those who are willing to question their production process and expand their questions through curiosity as their main critical guide.
The Lab Program provides a space where art practitioners have the opportunity to create new situations, narratives, and collaborative projects, often based on the experiences of a cultural exchange that occurs during each research period.
Residents have the opportunity to share their work at public events, which are hosted in collaboration with partnered spaces in the city and its surroundings. The format of each presentation will depend on the nature of the developed project and the discipline and interests of the resident.
The making of artist books as a way to democratize knowledge for each research process is highly recommended but not mandatory. The Lab Program offers the ideal space and the necessary time that some creative communities, whether artistic or not, need to renegotiate the way they inhabit and experiment with their own construction of knowledge.
We invite participants to engage with the cultural, emotional, and urban features of Mexico City, to take a creative risk in renegotiating their range of knowledge.
