Join LACE and multidisciplinary artist Marnie Webe Join LACE and multidisciplinary artist Marnie Weber (@marnieweberstudio) on Thursday, November 13 from 7-9 PM at the Philosophical Research Society (@philosophical_research_society) for the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, “House of the Whispering Rose” (2025). The screening will also feature Weber’s film “Song of the Sea Witch” (2020).

Filmed at the historic Beverly Estate in Beverly Hills, where silent film star Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst shared their final days, “House of the Whispering Rose’’ takes place against a backdrop of forgotten wealth and grandeur.

Following the screening, LACE’s Curator and Director of Programs Selene Preciado (@selene__preciado) speaks with Marnie Weber to learn more about the making of the films and her collaborations. Light refreshments will be provided.

Reservations are filling up quickly and space is limited. RSVP at the link in our bio.

This program is supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
The works selected for “A Tender Excavation” d The works selected for “A Tender Excavation” depart from personal, familial, or historical photographic archives which ultimately are recontextualized through installation, collage, painting, film, video, sculpture, or mixed media, reimagining and reconnecting lost fragments to speak about personal and collective resilience, constructing new possibilities for an interconnected futurity.

LACE is thrilled to introduce three of the artists featured in the exhibition...

✷ Mercedes Dorame (@mercedes.dorame)  is a multi-disciplinary artist who calls on her Tongva ancestry to engage the problematics of (in)visibility and ideas of cultural construction and ancestral connection to land and sky.

✷ Leah King (@leahkinglive) is a multimedia artist working in collage, sound, film, and performance. Her intricately layered visual and sonic works explore race, gender, and power through a futurist lens.

✷ Ann Le (@annsgood) is a LA based artist and Senior Lecturer of Photography and Fine Arts at Loyola Marymount University. Her photomontages explore identity, family history, the diaspora, and the space in between becoming Vietnamese-American.

Join us at the opening reception on Saturday, November 1, 2025 from 2–5 PM at CSULA’s Luckman Gallery. Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP at the link in our bio.

Support for this exhibition is provided by the Teiger Foundation.
