"Ernesto Neto: Abstract Bodies"
2001-10-10 until 2001-12-31
Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea
Santiago, , ES Spain

Ernesto Neto (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1964) will present in CGAC a project in which organic forms will merge with the architecture of the museum in order to have the visitors touch, feel and smell those abstract bodies. Elastic fabric floods the galleries with undulating forms, undergoing constant changes.

His work presents us with a seductive image of bodies imagined by the artist, revealing his interest in biological processes, in mutations and alteration of forms.

Ernesto Netos works have been exhibited in the Contemporary Art Museum, Houston; The Institute of Contemporary Art, London; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; and in Spain, at Casa de América and Galería Elba Benítez, Madrid.
