We are thrilled to announce that Jérôme Sans has joined Lago/Algo as Creative Director! Welcome @jeromesans! — @lago_algo is a new living and cultural hub located in the heart of the Chapultepec forest, the green lung of Mexico City and largest urban park worldwide. The venue, inaugurated in Spring 2022, was founded by Cristobal Riestra (Owner & Director, OMR) together with Joaquín Vargas Mier y Terán (CEO, Grupo CMR). Reactivating an iconic building of modernist architecture and concrete utopia that carries all the strength of its ambitions, this new major platform brings together the already existing future of the encounter between music, contemporary art, architecture, nature, and gastronomy. The bar, farm to table restaurant, shared work station, and exhibition space housed together in the building unrolls a fluid, dynamic, open and perpetually shifting programming accessible day and night. Born upon the gathering of different entities and individuals, Lago/Algo is a model of sharing and collaboration, a vibrant laboratory for new social and cultural models enlightened by the most radical contemporary practices. Standing in the green ocean of Chapultepec, it is a cultural beacon on the waterfront and a haven of peace to reinvent ourselves and the world. Beside participating in developing the DNA of Lago/Algo, Jérôme Sans will curate a collective exhibition titled Shake your Body. Opening the first week of September, this exhibition intends to awaken the incredible synergy sedated by our daily lives within an active experience of works not conceived as objects of entertainment, but rather as paths to explore together; an invitation to experience the social body, a journey that sets culture as a place to get together. - - Images: Jérôme Sans, Photo: Valentin Le Cron © 2022; GIF Images: Pia Camil, Bara Bara Bara (Detail), 2017.
