Acceptable Risk LA
Acceptable Risk LA is a Los Angeles-based artist collective established by former members of the FORUM mentorship program at the Torrance Art Museum. This cohort of artists, curators, and writers is focused on staging exhibitions and activities that challenge current ideas about art practices, collective models for art world engagement, and the contemporary art world at large. ARLA’s work thus far has been nomadic, spread throughout LA and mirroring the sprawl of the city, but the group plans to eventually establish a centralized project space while continuing to produce pop-up events.

Bcademie
The Bcademie is an institution that coaches recently graduated art students. The founders Alex Jacobs and Daan den Houter plus an array of guest art-professionals help the students in finding their way in the art world. The Bcademie's goal is to close the gap between graduation and the practice of an autonomous visual artist. How to navigate through the quicksand of the art world with all its ups and downs; galleries, networks and funding. With a combination of peer to peer learning and guest lecturers we help each other make better choices. Next to our monthly gatherings we initiate different projects like exhibitions, bootcamps and residencies.

ARLA and Bcademie Art Collective present PONG, a digital call-and-response reflecting on the theme of time, routine and/or ritual. Each artist will have 2 days to create a new work responding to the previous piece, and each one will be documented and posted here—check back for new posts as the project continues!
