Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, LACE will present “To Oblivion: a series of meditations,” an exhibition examining the role of transportation infrastructures as they mark L.A.’s physical and social landscapes. Artist-in-residence Sandra de la Loza will use the concept of oblivion to explore invisible histories, the violence against communities of color by Los Angeles’ ever-changing landscape, and the ways these communities have resisted.
Organization Summary
Founded in 1978 by a core group of committed artists, LACE is an internationally recognized pioneer among art institutions. LACE is a nonprofit venue that exhibits and advocates for innovations in art-making and public engagement. Uniquely positioned among commercial galleries and major art establishments at the heart of Hollywood as a free, open to the public experimental space, LACE has nurtured not only several generations of young artists, but also emerging art forms such as performance art, video art, digital art, and installations. LACE presents significant and timely exhibitions, performances, and public projects, which are complemented by education initiatives.
LACE’s core values have remained the same since its founding in 1978: A dedication to the art of our time that focuses on freedom of expression; experimentation with ideas, materials, and new forms; and content that is challenging and socially engaging.
