RESUME
Lita Barrie
Lita Barrie is an award-winning, international art critic and cultural essayist, based in Los Angeles. She was born in New Zealand where she gained two post-graduate degrees in philosophy – after a double-major in English Literature and Philosophy in her B.A – at Victoria University (with a published thesis on Immanuel Kant’s aesthetics) and then continued her post-graduate studies in journalism at Canterbury University.
Barrie has written art criticism for a weekly art column on The New Zealand National Business Review, numerous online and print art magazines, art gallery catalogues, museum monographs (including Barbara Kruger, Jiri Cernicky and Roland Reiss) and university essay collections in New Zealand, Australia and California.
She taught aesthetic philosophy in graduate programs at Claremont Graduate University, Art Center and Otis School of Art and Design. Barrie also taught aesthetic philosophy, art theory, gender studies, fairy tale analysis, pop culture semiotics and composition for 20 years at private art colleges and state universities at both undergraduate and post- graduate levels.
Her feminist intervention in the canon of women’s art is discussed in the government’s Encyclopedia of New Zealand. An archive of her art criticism is held in the New Zealand National Library, Te Puna Matauranga Aotearoa.
