Frequently Asked Questions

If LAC is an art project, then is my art considered part of Ariel Baron-Robbin's artwork?

Yes and no. LAC is presented, until August 2023, inside of an exhibition at The MUD Foundation as part of its MUD 3.0 WASD exhibition. When visitors enter the exhibition, they see two screens, one that shows The Salon and one that shows The Salon des Refuses. It is labeled as Ariel Baron-Robbin's project in the show. Individual artist’s work in the Salons is labeled with each artist's name and a link to their artwork online. So, they are considered participants inside of the work, but their work is not part of the overall piece.
