The DIY mentality that is embedded in The Pit’s origins isn’t about rugged individualism. It is a means of subverting the hierarchies of institutionalized modes of artistic production that often only lead to exclusion. Having passed the former Glendale location on to another artist-run gallery, Gattopardo, the new Atwater location offers yet more space to expand into and do something with, to make things visible. This new command center avails space for expansive exhibitions, printed matter, and events, embodying the sprawling, isolated, connective qualities of LA at large.
