'I am sculpture and think as sculpture' - Ernesto NetoNeto is internationally renowned for his frequently biomorphic-like sculptures that modify their surrounding space and invite the viewer to interact with them.This catalogue is conceived as a retrospective and offers new, comprehensive insights into Neto's biosculptural cosmos, which is made up of sensuousness, intimacy and interrelationships.Essays as well as an extensive section of images reveal not only the roots of his oeuvre in Brazil's art history, but offer multiple perspectives on his work that can be experienced with all the senses.This publication also documents the newly commissioned installation, Aru Kuxipa Sacred Secret. This new work addresses shamanic spiritual traditions and handed-down healing rituals of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon, interweaving them with issues of anthropology, ceremonial and tradition, as well as forms of contemporary art-making.Published on the occaasion of the exhibitions at TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna (25 June 25 - October 2015), and at Kunsthalle Krems (19 July - 1 November 2015).English and German text.
Aru Kuxipa expresses the vision and dream of the Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto and the Amazonian artists, plant masters, and pajés (shamans) of the thirty-seven Jordão Huni Kuin communities to co-create a place of transformation, a zone of encounter and expression, and a site of healing away from their ancestral lands. Includes documentation of the exhibition at TBA21-Augarten, Vienna, June 25 through October 25, 2015.
Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto has established over the past 20 years an international reputation for his work. His influences range from the European modernist artists Alexander Calder and Constantin Brancusi to his Brazilian predecessors Lygia Clark, Helio Oiticica and Amilcar de Castro. Neto's biomorphic nylon sculptures and multi-sensory environments exist, in the artist's words, as 'a place of sensations, a place of exchange and continuity between people'. This monograph is published to accompany the artist's major exhibition at Hayward Gallery in which he will re-imagine the gallery's concrete spaces and brutalist architecture with a new site-specifc commission and a number of new sculptural works. This book surveys Neto's career to date, containing texts by key international scholars and a new interview with the artist. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Ernesto Neto at Hayward Gallery, London, 19 June - 5 September 2010.
An extensive, accessible guide to the most groundbreaking and influential art from 1989 to the present The years since the collapse of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 have seen the rise of a new freedom to define art—Who makes it? Where can it be found? What is its commercial value?—and, consequently, the reevaluation of art’s place in society. Kelly Grovier surveys the dynamic developments in art practice worldwide since 1989, focusing on artists whose fresh visual vocabulary and innovation reflect these past turbulent decades. The book’s ten chapters examine the key themes in contemporary art—portraiture in the age of face transplants and facial recognition software, political activism, science, and religion, to name a few—by artists including Jeff Koons, Louise Bourgeois, Damien Hirst, George Condo, Marlene Dumas, Sean Scully, Cindy Sherman, Banksy, Ai Weiwei, Antony Gormley, Christo and Jean-Claude, Jenny Holzer, Chuck Close, and Cornelia Parker. A chapter-length timeline at the end of the book traces the evolution of art from 1989 to today by closely examining one key artwork from each year. Illustrated with the work of over 200 key artists, Art Since 1989 is a lucid and engaging look at what may prove to be one of the more tempestuous eras in human history, if not the history of art.
Museums of contemporary art are expanding and in crisis. They attract ever-larger audiences, architects constantly redesign them, and the growing number of artists is producing more massively than ever; at the same time museum funds are dwindling in the economic crisis and an overheated art market. This text gathers together interviews with international artists, architects and curators of the contemporary art world.
