compás 88 – Spring + Summer 2025 – Residency Programs – Mexico City

From May to September, compás 88 will host a series of 45-day residencies—three in total. During this time, individual artists will work with us (and our gallery partners) to develop a project (or series of projects) that will evolve organically throughout their stay. Participants will effectively "take over" the gallery and have full autonomy over the space during their 45 day stay. The residency may conclude with an exhibition, event(s), or other form of public programming—to be determined as the project takes shape.

What is compás 88?

APAPACHO CDMX Residency

Apapacho is PROArtes México’s residency and studio space in the heart of Mexico City. This international program of art-based residencies has been launched to provide space and time for artists, curators, art historians, etc, to research and network in one of the most historically and culturally profound cities in the world. As an artist founded and operated space, we strive to provide an increasingly diverse group of artists an affordable international residency experience. As the name ‘Apapacho’ reflects, our interest is in developing a thoughtful and caring interaction unique to each resident’s curiosities, needs, and area of focus.

BEAUTIFUL ARTISTS HOME IN MEXICO CITY

I am an artist living and working between London and Mexico City.  My house in Mexico City will be available for rent from September 2024. 

The house is in the very heart of Mexico City in Colonia Roma in a gated mews. It is a wonderful place in which to create some work and absorb the wonders of Mexico City, which are varied and many!

The house comprises of:

One double bedroom, en suite bathroom, small downstairs patio, dining room, kitchen, living room (with sofa bed), piano, roof terrace with separate office, bathroom and a bright and airy studio. There is also space to work outside.

"Out of Wounds: Art Uncovering Gender Violence"

Gender violence is a direct correlation to gender inequality; a social issue deriving from gender norms, and distinctions or assumptions made on biology. Gender violence includes sexual assault, rape, partner violence, sexual harassment, stalking, sex trafficking, and prostitution. Many people around the world experience a form of gender violence, with the majority being women.

 “Out of Wounds: Art Uncovering Gender Violence,” is a platform to allow those who have, or have known someone who has experienced gender violence, to artistically express themselves and their views.  We encourage you to join us on this journey to gender equality, which aims to use art to uncover the multiple forms the patriarchal system uses to oppress women.

Dream Living Open Call for Art

As Jung said, "Life does not come from events, but from us”. Human behavior is the endless stream of perceptions, feelings, and thoughts at both the conscious and unconscious levels, but what the eye cannot produce, the brain completes the external on an unconscious level. We create the meaning of the events around us. The meaning is and always was artificial. So, what is the reality?.

For this exhibition, Culturally Arts is seeking works that explore the inner world of the human mind based on the unconscious, about the journey to the inside of one’s unique perspective of what reality truly means through the eye of the beholder.
