Overview
Mission
Education through artist-curated exhibitions of art work in a non - commerical setting
What it reported doing in 2025
La/b-la-m/ fantasma jointly curated by the art spaces guadalajara90210, hilbertraum ( berlin) and tiger strikes asteroid (los angeles), the exhibition fantasma was part of the b-la-m program, which took place in mexico city from october 23 to november 7, 2025. Fantasma explored what exists just beyond the surface of what we perceive as real. Whether it is the lingering presence of the past, spiritual echoes, or inexplicable glimpses into something deeper, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on how the unseen shapes our world. The idea un fantasma is taken in its broadest sense-a ghost, yes, but also flickers of memory, strange dreams, and the delicate line between perception and imagination. The exhibition included works by guadalupe salgado (mx), catalina barroso luque (mx), mariana dussel (mx), surge witron (la), shane mecklenburger (la), fatemeh burnes (la), jynx prado (la), ricardo harris-fuentes (la), carlbaratta (la), anita kurcharczyk (la), elaine deelaine (b), kuno ebert (b), eva schwab,(b) anke volk (b), deborah wargon (b), claudio wichert (b), clemens wilhelm (b), and daniel wiesenfeld (b), and was organized by alma saladin. Marco rountree, carl baratta, anita kucharczyk, anke volk and daniel wiesenfeld. This exhibition was part of b-la-m, a three year international collaborative platform connecting artists and curators from berlin, los angeles, and mexico city, with the aim of developing joint exhibitions and projects that strengthen the ties between independent art scenes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
