About this Event
Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) is excited to present Lita Albuquerque: Malibu Line, a new iteration of the celebrated artist’s first ephemeral pigment earthwork. Originally created in 1978, Malibu Line was a direct mark on the land that connected the viewer to the earth and to the horizon. The artwork signaled a turning point in Albuquerque’s practice. Instead of painting on two dimensional surfaces, Albuquerque began to create on the earth, drawing the viewer’s attention to a relationship outside of themselves and to the land.
The new iteration of Malibu Line is part of a multi-year project in which Albuquerque will connect her current home in California with her first home in Tunisia by way of another pigment installation located in North Africa. With the ocean serving as the conductor between these two sites, Albuquerque again uses the planet to create expansive, perspective shifting artworks.
Albuquerque will be onsite, leading brief guided meditations at 11:30am and 2:30pm each day.
