Cildo: Studies, Spaces, Time

Cildo Meireles is one of the most important Brazilian artists in activity; perhaps the most relevant in what is conventionally, called contemporary art. With exhibitions in the world's leading museums (Tate Modern, New Museum, Reina Sofia, Pompidou and a pavilion in Inhotim), Cildo's work is characterized by experiments that mobilize senses beyond sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste, proposing also reflections on logical and mathematical reasoning and conceptual questions of philosophical background. This book presents the work of Cildo taking as a goal the concept of "study". Much of his most relevant production is, shown not only with the photographs of the works in exhibitions, but also with drawings and sketches that reveal the process of performing these works.
