Casa Lu (Casa Lü)
Mexico City, Mexico
Casa Lü offered a 6 weeks residency ( with 5 artists ) in a beautiful house with a cute garden and outdoors space in a quiet neighborhood of Mexico City. The program was thoughtfully curated to match (as much as possible of course) the artists interests, art and needs. From cultural outings to studio visits, coffee tours to evening outings, the support, availability and communication with the staff was absolutely amazing. Weekly meetings were organized with renowned curator and external artists throughout the entire residency, along with punctual meetings and activities (never mandatory though). The help and support they offer is of great quality and truly helpful, without ever feeling like it was too much, the balance between privacy/alone time and activities/meetings is very well balanced ! The studios (and the kitchen and the rooms) are gorgeous, bright, spacious, and come with more than the basic tools and materials + a lot of local stores in the area sell quality art materials. Mexico City has sooo much to offer. I could go on and on about my time at Casa Lü, the whole experience was beyond my expectations on all levels !

I lost an important interview with Sandra, I think that if it wasn’t for that I would have had a better approach to the pieces I worked in.
The staff is amazing, everyone is very heart welcoming and they are very willing to help develop our projects.
Great space to meet other artists and explore Mexico City's cultural spaces. The hosts are so helpful and the space is magical and beautiful. Housing is really comfy and has lots of communal space to hang out at Casa Lü Parque, close to everything from metro to restaurants. There are some great moments for critique with local artists and cultural writers which helps any emerging artist form greater conceptual development of their work. The time goes by quickly even though the residency is 26 days for the shortest one, it is a good challenge for any visual artist to develop work. The other residents were very nice and there was a lot of opportunity to rest as well as work in communal space.
The staff is awesome and very resourceful. The residency is well organized and communication is exceptional. I have already recommended the residency to other artists and am very satisfied with my time at Casa Lü. I wish there had been more artists studio visits and maybe a list of workshops artists can take of different techniques in various mediums.
