Cildo Meireles Retrospective
On the back of a fascinating conversation around sculpture and senses, I was recommended the exhibition at the Tate Modern showcasing the work of the Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles over the last few decades. I remember vividly a few years back watching with surprise and delight, a blind woman delicately discovering with her wrinkled fingers the details of a marble face in the Musee Rodin in Paris. My instinctive reaction to sculpture and installations is simple: I want to touch.
- the Through installation, walking on layers of broken glass in a labyrinth of opacity. Delightful and challenging to get your feet involved.
- the Babel installation, tower of radios, buttons, dials and mesh. Wished people to tune in and make the installation alive and changing.
