Bio
Lux Valladolid (Argentina) is a performance and visual artist whose work investigates how presence can be embodied within public and institutional contexts.
With a degree in Communication Sciences, she uses her expertise to connect artists, institutions, and audiences, translating artistic practices into accessible narratives.
Her most recent body of work was developed in Switzerland, where she created site-specific performances throughout Basel, including at Kunstmuseum Basel, the Basel Academy of Art and Design FHNW, Basel Tourismus, and Kunstforum Baloise Park, alongside collaborations with galleries and project spaces during Art Basel 2025.
Her ongoing research project, Are You an NPC? which explores automated gestures and collective behaviors through live performance, was initiated during her residency at Atelier Mondial (March–May 2025), supported by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia South America.
