Sharing a connection to the Graduate Fine Art Program at ArtCenter College of Design, Lita Albuquerque and David Daigle will explore the conceptual dialogue between their practices. On the occasion of Daigle’s exhibition “The Death of Beauty”, Track 16 is hosting this artist talk on Sunday, August 30th at 1pm in East Hollywood.
Both artists investigate what exists between perception and knowledge—what we think we are seeing, what remains inaccessible, and how images and environments mediate our understanding of the world. While Albuquerque’s expansive practice confronts the viewer with landscapes, elemental forces, and forms of knowledge that exceed human scale and comprehension, Daigle turns toward images that appear to offer immediate access to the world, physically perforating and disrupting them to expose their constructed nature.
Though their practices emerge from distinct materials, subjects, and approaches, both artists ultimately ask us to reconsider the authority of perception itself—and our desire to believe that seeing something means that we understand it.
Lita Albuquerque is an internationally renowned multidisciplinary artist and writer known for a visual language that brings time and space to a human scale through ephemeral and permanent works in landscape and public sites.
