ISBN: 9788434313286
Description: Barcelona: Poligrafia, 2014. 28cm., pbk., 144pp. illus. English-Spanish text. Exhibition held at Guggenheim, Bilbao. Summary: For the Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto, who defines himself as a sculptor, his works are created to be passed through, lived in, felt and even smelt, which enables the spectator to experience their own body, their senses and their mind by means of the work of art and vice versa. Interacting with the surroundings and with others, the visitor sees himself immersed in a fusion of sculpture and architecture. Neto states: “What we have in common is more important than what makes us different. I’m interested in discussing the situation of humanity, the temperature and the things we experience. The transition of things. The language”. That’s why he investigates common aspects of interpersonal relations through sculptures that give rise to sensuality and corporality. Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1964, Ernesto Neto has exhibited his sculptures in the major museums and art centres of the world. In fact, some of his works form part of the collections of the Reina Sofía Museum (Madrid), the Guggenheim (New York) and the MoMA (New York). He also represented Brazil in the Biennials of Venice and São Paulo.
