Villa Aurora X Lookout FM Radio - Episode 13 of "if the house could speak"
Radio LOOKOUT FM
In January of 2025 the Palisades Fire came within feet of Villa Aurora. Miraculously, the house survived, and with it the radio transmitter that broadcasts from there throughout the Santa Monica Mountains and the beaches below.
This series explores the voices, past and present, that reverberate at Lion and Marta Feuchtwanger’s former home. For the past 30 years, Villa Aurora has been an artist residence, a place where exile and expression meet, where history and contemporary events converge.
During the process of rebuilding and awaiting our artists’ return, we will be broadcasting newly produced, archival and historical footage for you to listen to and maybe wonder: Is this really only a house or, like Carl Jung suggests, can the composition of a room induce the realization of new truths?
Each episode of if the house could speak will be broadcast on a loop for 24 hours with no interruption starting at 12 PM Pacific Daylight Time. For our listeners across the world, that corresponds to 7 PM Coordinated Universal Time and 9 PM Middle European Time.
Episode 13
Intersection with Rebecca Racine Ramershoven at 18th Street Arts Center
Due to the Palisades Fire, our friends at 18th Street Arts Center hosted our first Off-Campus Fellow, Rebecca Racine Ramershoven, from October to December 2025.
At their Intersection series, Rebecca Racine Ramershoven presented her work and project for her stay Los Angeles.
As a Black German visual artist, she uses photography, video, and objects in her work to explore issues of race-related representation, the meaning and power of community, and sociocultural questions and possibilities. The examination and integration of political and historical contexts play an immense role in her conceptual approaches.
