# Event Details - **Event Name**: In Conversation: Zoe Walsh and Linda Besemer - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Vielmetter Los Angeles is excited to host a conversation between artist Zoe Walsh and artist and professor Linda Besemer on February 14thAbout this EventVielmetter Los Angeles is excited to present a Spotlight of new works by Los Angeles-based artist Zoe Walsh on view from February 14th through March 28th, 2026. In conjunction with the exhibition, a conversation between Zoe Walsh and Linda Besemer will take place on February 14th from 3 to 4pm, immediately preceding the opening reception.Comprising four paintings, Walsh's newest works continue their investigation into the possibilities of representing queer subjectivity in charged ecologies, conflating foreground, background, exteriority, and interiority. Walsh's paintings are a confluence of light, space, color, and form that interrogate the medium itself and simultaneously question the stability and legibility of images. Working across digital rendering, hand-stenciling, print-making, and painting, Walsh's works merge material approaches while remaining rooted in the act of painting. The resulting works are studies in the terms of visibility and locating meaning, informed by trans subjectivity, and are rendered in brilliant hues of blues, purples, magentas, and greens.Throughout the compositions, Walsh merges images of contemporary figures - their friends, or themselves, for instance - alongside quotations of images from Pat Rocco, a queer photographer and activist who worked in Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s. This cross-generational image play is not immediately evident as Walsh's figures are intentionally rendered as shadowy, transient, and unfixed in the landscapes they inhabit. Walsh's technique of layering images through their stenciling and screen-printing process allows for a blending of surfaces, forms, and figures that evoke a convergence of time and space. Just when the image begins to become fixed, a slippage presents itself and details shimmer on the surface, coming in and out of focus. This approach evokes a perceptual in-between, leaving room for subjectivity in meaning and relational ambiguity that occupies a space between legibility and abstraction. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/los-angeles/in-conversation-zoe-walsh-and-linda-besemer/100001982051700993 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, exhibitions - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Los Angeles - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES - **lat**: 34.0243536 - **long**: -118.229675 - **full address**: VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES, 1700 South Santa Fe Avenue, Los Angeles, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: In Conversation: Zoe Walsh and Linda Besemer - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/c5abdbbca9448d4c5f26f15fc88ef20dd3f25f196a0def41b9da514c1e89d9fe-rimg-w1200-h1200-dcfffffe-gmir.jpg?v=1769856078 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is In Conversation: Zoe Walsh and Linda Besemer being held? - **A:** In Conversation: Zoe Walsh and Linda Besemer takes place on Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sat, 14 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm at VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES, 1700 South Santa Fe Avenue, Los Angeles, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing In Conversation: Zoe Walsh and Linda Besemer? - **A:** In Conversation: Zoe Walsh and Linda Besemer is organized by Vielmetter Los Angeles. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
