Description
About the Book
Edited by Guy Brett. Text by Moacir dos Anjos, Guy Brett, Okwui Enwezor, Maaretta Jaukkuri, Bartomeu Mar', Lu Menezes, Suely Rolnik, Sonia Salzstein, Lynn Zelevansky.Book Synopsis
The ideas of visual artist Cildo Meireles do not respect places or national identities; they are, therefore, poetic detours that travel through a network permeated with symbologies and metaphors toward a consistent thought about contemporary artistic practices. Cildo's privileged observations gathered here in an unprecedented way construct, argue, and reflect a possibility of renewal of the artistic environment.
"What interests me in fine arts is this possibility that for every idea you start from scratch. In a way, I have an aversion to the so-called style. I think that style is excellent for the art trade, but it is bad for artists because they become enslaved. However, I see that each work of mine has a kind of biography."
