Loved listening to these thoughts. I would be interested to hear her thoughts on land art, environmentalism, and the artists responibility in taking care of the ecosystems too!
I came to be aware of Albuquerque years ago from one of her works (sculpture/mixed media) shown in a Santa Monica gallery/work space. it was interesting to learn about her international experiences/influences growing up and to see more of her work/ideas/influences.
Knowing her approach and respect to the earth I think they are natural biodegradable pigments:) she spoke about it in a video, cannot remember which one tho. This a question I asked myself when I discovered her work
this is great, such delicious ideas and insights. Memories. Venice, yah!!! This is totally wow!!! I want to meet and play photographically with this brilliant artist. I am suddenly influenced by it but strangely was on a somewhat similar path in some ways in my own art. So perhaps that's why i'm resonating so much with this. Lita Albuquerque, new favourite artist, thx for making this video 😀
@@adhanetkidane Sure we are a part of nature, and we are currently destroying the biosphere planet wide. Albuquerque's work may be harmless expression, but in my opinion it detracts from the natural landscape and treats it as if it needed enhancement, which ultimately belittles it as if the artist is consciously or unconsciously demonstrating how he or she is able to impose their will on the wild places. And it all comes off as just a bit pretentious. But this is only my opinion; personally I prefer art to reflect the beauty or ugliness of the natural features of this world, and this just doesn't do it.
@@adhanetkidane That's my point. This detracts from what people can see on their own, as I see it this is doing just the opposite. From my perspective this is showing her work imposed on nature. Her installation works bringing a different perspective on nature into a non natural setting look to be worth while. If you want to get people to think out of the box then show them the beauty of what we humans mistakenly dismiss as a harsh desolate barren landscape. Maybe her work would more effectively get people to think out of the box if done on plastic strewn beaches, abandoned oil fields, mining slag piles, clear cut forests or heavily polluted superfund cleanup sights.
The moon does not block out the sun in an eclipse. There are times both can be seen in different parts of the sky during an eclipse. How does she clean up the pigments spread across the desert and sand?
Artists need to be informed about the anthropocene and how their materials and practice affect our planet. Placing synthetic ‘artificial” dyes into a fragile environment like the desert could only be detrimental. She needs to stop and address this.
I make art says the American artist. I don't like this. I think you can make art as little you can make a human being. The only thing you can do: to open the door and the mind for art.
I love her artwork so much. One of my favorite artists among so many.

Are the pigments earth friendly? I really hope it's not plastic microbeads dumped on the land.

Awesome Lita !!!! Love

Nature doesn't need to be decorated.
I agree. Leave no trace.

@@adhanetkidane It's fun to discuss. Thanks for bringing it up, makes me have to give it deeper though.
That's why there is canvas. Man humans ..

She is using natural biodegradable pigments :) she spoke about it in an interview

All artist make art, even American artists.
