  • Blythe Projects
    BLYTHE PROJECTS LITA ALBUQUERQUE Lita Albuquerque is an internationally renowned installation, environmental artist, painter and sculptor. She has developed a visual language that brings the realities of time and space to a human scale in ways that are simultaneously ancient and futuristic. For decades she has created large scale ephemeral pigment pieces in desert sites including the Pyramids of Giza and the ice desert of Antarctica where she led an expedition and team of scientists and artists that culminated in the first and largest ephemeral art work created on the continent. Often best seen from the sky, Albuquerque’s work challenges perspective, and the perpetually shifting relationships between bodies in space. Her paintings are a materialization of the ideas about color, light and perception first created in her ephemeral works. Through her use of pure pigments, gold leaf and copper, she engages perceptual and alchemical shifts in the viewing subject.

    Art in Embassies Exhibition United States Embassy Stockholm McLean Fahnestock Grand Finale, 2011 High-Definition color video, stereo sound 43 5/8 x 25 7/8 x 3 3/16 in. (110,7 x 65,8 x 8,1 cm) Courtesy of the artist, Nashville, Tennessee Art in Embassies Established in 1963, the U.S. Department of State’s office of Art in Embassies (AIE) plays a vital role in our nation’s public diplomacy through a culturally expansive mission, creating temporary and permanent exhibitions, artist programming, and publications. The Museum of Modern Art first envisioned this global visual arts program a decade earlier. In the early 1960s, President John F. Kennedy formalized it, naming the program's first director. Now with over 200 venues, AIE curates temporary and permanent exhibitions for the representational spaces of all U.S. chanceries, consulates, and embassy residences worldwide, selecting and commissioning contemporary art from the U.S. and the host countries. These exhibitions provide international audiences with a sense of the quality, scope, and diversity of both countries’ art and culture, establishing AIE’s presence in more countries than any other U.S. foundation or arts organization. AIE’s exhibitions allow citizens, many of whom might never travel to the United States, to personally experience the depth and breadth of our artistic heritage and values, making what has been called a “footprint that can be left where people have no opportunity to see American art.” https://art.state.gov/ Welcome Swedes often say “Borta bra men hemma bäst,” which translates to “Away is good, but home is best.” In selecting the Art in Embassies pieces to exhibit in my new home, I wanted to connect visitors to the United States and American culture.

  • Lita Albuquerque
    LITA ALBUQUERQUE “Light carries information” – Lita Albuquerque Since the early 1970s, Lita Albuquerque (born 1946, Santa Monica, CA) has created an expansive body of work, ranging from sculpture, poetry, painting and multi-media performance to ambitious site-specific ephemeral projects in remote locations around the globe. Often associated with the Light and Space and Land Art movements, Albuquerque has developed a unique visual and conceptual vocabulary using the earth, color, the body, motion and time to illuminate identity as part of the universal. She represented the United States at the Sixth International Cairo Biennale, where she was awarded the Biennale’s top prize. Albuquerque has also been the recipient of the National Science Foundation Artist Grant Program for the artwork, Stellar Axis: Antarctica, which culminated in the first and largest ephemeral artwork created on that continent, three NEA Art in Public Places awards, an NEA Individual Fellowship grant, a fellowship from the Civitella Ranieri Foundation and MOCA’s Distinguished Women in the Arts award. Her work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Getty Trust, the Whitney Museum of American Art, LACMA and MOCA, among others. Albuquerque continues her investigations into identity and the cosmos with upcoming ephemeral projects planned at Mount Vesuvius in Naples, Italy, the 2nd installment of her project Stellar Axis off the coast of Greenland, and at the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. She is on the core faculty of the Fine Art Graduate Program at Art Center College of Design and is represented in Los Angeles by Michael Kohn.
