Tiger Strikes Asteroid, (Los Angles) is one of five independently programmed, artist-run exhibition spaces with other locations in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and Greenville, SC. The network functions collectively through programming exchanges and the sharing of resources, connections and governing structure. Our goal is to collectively bring people together, expand connections and create community through artist-initiated exhibitions, projects, and curatorial opportunities. We strive to foster relationships between artists from all career stages, lifting up underrepresented work and voices, and offering new contexts for the work of mid-career and established artists. Since the founding of our Philadelphia space in 2009, we have shown about 2,000 artists in 400+ exhibitions and projects.

Space One (Seoul) founded in 2014 as an artist-run exhibition and project space, since 2020 has shifted to a project focused space supporting international, independent and discursive exchanges and collaborations.

Kalashnikovv Gallery (Johannesburg) was founded in 2013 in direct response to the traditional white cube gallery system by envisioning an alternative operational model for the visual arts. It is administered and curated by two of Johannesburg's deep-rooted cultural instigators, M.J Turpin and Matthew Dean Dowdle who prioritize a collaborative exchange in working with the artists they partner with.

Wönzimer, is interested in unique voices from all different backgrounds to inspire and question the world we live in today. And it does this through an ever-evolving embrace of the vast creative potential of human beings.
