Exclusive Interview with Brazilian Artist Ernesto Neto
Jun 15 2009 in Videos by BrazilNYC
Park Avenue Armory launched its first commissioned art installation with Anthropodino, a large-scale, interactive sculpture by world-renowned artist, Ernesto Neto. Using hundreds of yards of translucent material, Neto suspends a gigantic canopy from the drill hall’s latticework truss, spanning 120 feet wide and 180 feet long. Magnificent, aromatic “fabric stalactites” descend 60 feet to embrace a vast labyrinth of passageways and rooms.
To quote the artist, “…each place becomes the site of a realization, so the viewer is very close to the realization of the art; nothing has been previously judged, not even by the artist, and in the end we are all seeing it together for the first time: the artist and the public, and this creates an adventurous situation!”
