Abstract

Hélio Oiticica, né à Rio de Janeiro le 26 juillet 1937 et mort dans cette ville le 22 mars 1980, est un artiste plasticien et théoricien brésilien, à la fois sculpteur, peintre, performeur, cinéaste et écrivain. One of the most radical and joyful artists of the 20th century, Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980) helped lead the charge in Brazilian art's unique transition from abstract concrete art to performative objects and collective performance. As MoMA's 2019 exhibition 'Sur Moderno' demonstrated, one of Oiticica's most revolutionary projects was the Parangolé, wearable sculptures made from fabric, plastic or paper. The Parangolé is meant to be worn, inhabited and danced by a participant, lending a physical spontaneity to the piece that entirely blurs the boundaries between the art object and those who experience it. 'Dance in My Experience' traces the genealogy of this theme within the artist's oeuvre, identifying rhythmic, choreographic and dance elements throughout his trajectory, from his first Metaesquemas through the Spatial Reliefs, Nuclei and Bólides, culminating in the Parangolés. It includes texts by Oiticica and contributions by numerous scholars. Exhibition: MASP Museu de Arte São Paulo, Brazil (20.03.-27.09.2020) / MAM Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Winter 2020-21)
