GALLERY TWO: B-LA-M

A three-year exchange between Berlin, Los Angeles, and Mexico City artist-run initiatives featuring artists from UOOORS (Los Angeles), Venice Institute of Contemporary Art (ViCA) (Los Angeles) and Die Möglichkeit einer Insel (Berlin).

B-LA-M began in 2024 with 54 galleries exhibiting together in Berlin, with the goal of developing international cooperation and exchange between three global cities that play host to strong communities of contemporary artists and their self-run networks of gallery spaces and collaborative groups. In 2025, the event was held in Mexico City, and now it has come to Los Angeles.

In addition to this presentation at TAM, B-LA-M will also be staged at various gallery spaces across Los Angeles from October 28–November 4.
