B_LA_M :
54 artist initiatives in 18 projects, each showing a projectspace from Berlin, Los Angeles, Mexico City.
Kick-off in Berlin: 27.06. - 14.07.2024
Artistic direction: Daniel Wiesenfeld (Berlin), Carl Baratta (Los Angeles), Laura Reséndiz (Mexico City)
Extroverted space
Participating spaces & artists:
CROMA, Mexico City (Studio Croma collective - Santiago Gómez & friends)
Dorado 806, Los Angeles (Meghan DeRoma, Amelie Laurice)
super bien! Berlin (Justina Los)
The
exhibition in the transparent greenhouse reflects the view inwards
through works that “look” outwards and expand into the outside space.
The space, normally a protective container for art, is used in a
contradictory way by turning the glass walls into a membrane that
connects inside and outside. Without a programmatic theme, 3 very
different installations come together in the working process on site in
an overall structure which marks the beginning of an encounter and
mutual perception in friendship and presents the richness and diversity
of artistic practice with our partner spaces.
After the kick-off in Berlin, an extended exchange will be shown 2025/2026 in the partner spaces in Mexico City and Los Angeles.

For its collaboration with super bien! and Dorado 806, CROMA proposes a site-specific installation that engages in dialogue with the translucent architecture of super bien!: a thin plastic in the outside is being moved by a fan from the inside. Within the greenhouse, the opposite is also happening, a small fan is blowing in front of an 3d printed versión of the superbien! space. A game of tensions and scales reproduces the inside-outside dynamics of the space. studiocroma

Rock-bottom: A playful twist on words mixes with a touch of cheeky humor, blurring lines between serious art and playful wit. Each piece has been exposed to California’s weather and will continue to evolve throughout its tenure in Berlin. Rock-bottom stage invites reflection, from personal to societal levels, aiming to unite viewers in solidarity. Ultimately, it uplifts, aiming to liberate viewers from life's burdens. dorado806

The
work complex Deathinitely
is a homage to a social and economic system that has long since
ceased to function globally, in which the future belongs only to
those who can afford it, while the unprivileged eat frozen pizza
through the domination mechanisms of dependencies and burnouts.
Death
is deathinitely as certain as the fact that the gates to ecological
and social decline have already begun to open. superbienberlin
