‘The Body that Carries Me’, Ernesto Neto

01/01/2014


The ‘inhabitable’ pieces by Ernesto Neto (Rio de Janeiro, 1964) let spectators experience their own bodies, their senses and minds. Influenced by Neoconcretism (a movement that arose in Brazil in the 1950s and which stood in defense of sensibility, expressiveness and the subjectivity of art), and with the idea that ‘what we have in common is what makes us different,’ Neto delves into human relations through huge organic sculptures that appeal to senses such as sight, touch and even smell. Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum has dedicated an exhibition to the artist, gathering a selection of around fifty works that take stock of his twenty-five years of career up to now.
