Lita Albuquerque

Bio

Lita Albuquerque describes her role as a, “Multi-disciplinary artist and writer, bringing concepts of the cosmos to earth and earth to cosmos, claiming the human as the question (or as field of inquiry) between the two.” The Tunisian-raised, Los Angeles-based artist emerged as part of the influential Light and Space movement in the 1970s and has spent her career making both ephemeral and permanent works that map terrestrial and cosmic planes, energetically connecting humanity to the infinite universe through ever-shifting time and space. Most recently she installed a work titled NAJMA (She Placed One Thousand Suns Over the Transparent Overlays of Space) in Alula, Saudi Arabia as part of Desert X.
