This book documents the works and exhibition history of installations by Cildo Meireles, one of the first artists to experiment with multi-sensory immersive installations that require full involvement of the public.
This Cahiers d'Art issue edited in collaboration with Cildo Meireles explores various dimensions of the artist's work: the question of origin and territory, linked to the indigenous universe; the question of architecture, place and scale; the relation between object and body. It also analyses the synaesthetic aspect of Cildo's works, as well as his particular exploration of language, through unpublished texts and notes dedicated. The publication also features: artist; Claudia Andujar and architects; Angelo Bucci and Luchita Hurtado.
After the Brazilian military took power in a coup in 1964, many artists tried to distance themselves from politics; others went into exile. This book covers the most culturally repressive years of the regime, from 1968-74 and looks at artists who found their own visual language of resistance, outside government-controlled cultural centers or the militant left.
This volume documents an installation by Cildo Meireles and Antoni Muntadas at the Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp. For this occasion, the artists divided the space with a transparent partition; on one side they created a pile of sugar, on the other a pile of salt. Bilingual (English/Spanish).
At the core of The Museum of Modern Art's new building in Midtown Manhattan are dramatic and expansive new galleries devoted to showcasing the Museum's world-famous collection of international contemporary art. Contemporary Highlights presents this impressive collection in a portable size. This new handbook features curators' selections of the most significant artworks of the past twenty-five years. Interweaving 250 highlights from the Museum's seven curatorial departments - architecture and design, drawing, film, media, painting and sculpture, photography and prints, and illustrated books - this volume presents a broadly chronological overview of the innovative, provocative and always fascinating art of the past quarter century. Each work is presented on its own page in full colour, and each is accompanied by a brief and accessible essay outlining the work's significance. As a companion to MoMA Highlights or on its own, Contemporary Highlights is an indispensable publication for those interested in contemporary art and the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.
