Thematic Visit – The Neo-Concrete Movement
The artistic and literary movement known as Neo-Concretism emerged in the late 1950s in Rio de Janeiro, opposing the Concretist Movement of the city of São Paulo. Neo-concretists criticized the excess of dogmatism and rationalism expressed by Concretism, and perceived art in a more subjective and sensitive way. Among the various artists who participated in the Neoconcretist Manifesto, Inhotim features works by Lygia Clark, Lygia Pape and Amílcar de Castro. This thematic visit reflects on the importance of this movement, considered by many as a turning point in Brazilian art for influencing a considerable number of artists.

I’m not me, the horse is not mine is a work by South African artist William Kentridge currently on display as a temporary exhibition at CACI. Exposed since October 2015 at Galpão (Warehouse), a space especially conceived to host large works at the Institute, the video installations title refers to an expression used by Russian peasants to deny responsibility for something. The projections are fragments of what the artist produced while preparing his opera version of The Nose, by Dmitri Shostakovich, for New York’s Metropolitan Opera, which premiered in March 2010.
Kentridges work consists of eight projections that are in constant loop, each of them about six minutes long. The video installation was shown for the first time at the Sydney Biennale in 2008, and later at New York MoMA in 2010 and at the Tate Modern in London between 2012 and 2013, finally arriving at Inhotim in 2015.
The Nose is a classic tale of Russian literature. Written between 1835 and 1836 by Nikolai Gogol, it inspired Shostakovich to compose the eponymous opera in 1927. The satire is about a man who wakes up in the morning and, realizing that his nose has disappeared, starts searching for it. When he finally finds it, the nose seems to be hierarchically superior to its owner. After several meetings, they end up reunited.
William Kentridge, through art and humor, makes interventions overlapping a nose in archival footage and historical records. He still uses languages ??such as performance, collages, charcoal drawings and stop motion to refer to the Russian avant-garde, including Vertovs films, the architecture of Tatlin’s Tower, or Malevichs supremacist movement. You can identify some historical names such as Stalin, the Soviet leader, and Anna Pavlova, the Russian ballet icon. The references used by the artist are many, and every new loop makes it possible to relate the work to historical facts of the Russian totalitarian regime.
The original soundtrack, an important part of the installation, was composed by Phillip Miller, Kentridges partner in several projects since Felix in Exile (1994). Miller recorded church choir passages in Johannesburg and used the rhythm as base and mixing the recordings with Shostakovich’s music indirectly, like a collage.
William Kentridge presents a unique assembly of his vision, according to which art is able to appropriate the tragicomic form as history and language, merging the interest in Russian history with references from the country itself.
In August, Inhotim reached the 2-million-visitor mark. These visitors came from the most diverse places and realities since the park was first opened to public visitation back in 2006. To celebrate the presence of those who keep the Institute alive, the second half of 2015 will bring new exhibits, performances and concerts with major Brazilian musicians. Among the attractions are Maria Bethânia, Zélia Duncan and Jaques Morelembaum, and Luiz Melodia, in addition to a tribute to Fernando Brant. Check out everything about the artists performing at Inhotim in the next few months, as well as about the new works on display at the park.

NOVEMBRO 26/11 Inauguração da Galeria Claudia Andujar
Em 26 de novembro deste ano, o Inhotim inaugura a galeria Claudia Andujar, projeto que vem sendo desenvolvido há cinco anos pela instituição. O espaço terá 1.600 m² e será integralmente dedicado ao trabalho da fotógrafa suíça, radicada no Brasil desde a década de 1950. Ao longo dos anos, ela registrou a vida dos Yanomami, povo indígena que vive na floresta amazônica, na fronteira entre Venezuela e Brasil. Sua atuação foi fundamental para a demarcação do território Yanomami, em 1992, e está intimamente ligada à história do País. No Inhotim, a galeria reunirá cerca de 500 fotografias feitas pela artista durante o período em que viveu com os índios e em visitas posteriores.
Contemporary art is a great option for kids. It is surprising, creative and many times interactive, and proposes fun, curious experiences. So how about visiting the Institute with your family? Here are five pieces you can’t miss in order to enjoy all of Inhotim’s fun activities with the little ones:
Start your visit by taking a good look at the map of the park. Currently, Inhotim has an area of 345 acres and one day is not enough to visit everything. So make the most of your time! Our reception has restrooms, drinking fountains and the Inhotim gift shops for you to take a souvenir home or buy something you forgot to bring to your visit. Read about what you should carry in your backpack to be ready here.
Follow the central boulevard. At the end of the boulevard is the Tamboril, a tree which is one of the symbols of the Institute (don’t forget to take a picture with the kids!).Take the left path, cross a bridge and you will find the Cildo Meireles Gallery. This is one of the oldest works in the Institute. The piece “Através” always surprises the children. Glass fragments, railings, curtains and other everyday materials create a maze and make us reflect on the daily obstacles and the way people relate with them.
Leave the gallery through the door opposite to the one you came in through.Keep walking and, to your right, is a little white house. Go around it to find your way in. At first sight it seems empty, but the building (dated 1874, the oldest construction remaining from the rural property which originated Inhotim) houses an installation by artist Rivane Neuenschwander on the ceiling. One of the references she used to develop her work was her own childhood, when she would look at the sky and the clouds searching for patterns. Try lying down on the floor or on the steps with the little ones to discover the images that will appear!

Continue the walk going up towards the Adriana Varejão Gallery. On the way you will find restrooms and a snack bar. You can recharge your batteries there! Take the right path towards the Cosmococa. Go through the Jardim das Veredas Tropicais (the Tropical Path Garden), with the incredible benches by designer Hugo França, and by the Troca-Troca piece, from 2002, by artist Jarbas Lopes, made up by three colored VW Beetles. A little further ahead is the building that houses the five sensorial rooms by Hélio Oiticica and Neville D’Almeida. Geometric foam, colored balloons, hammocks, mattresses and, to make things even more fun, a pool! Don’t forget to take a dip, and rest easy when you come out of the pool: Inhotim has towels for those who venture in.

After this incredible experience, show your kids the variety of botanical species around you, especially the palm trees and araceae, some of the plant families in the Institute’s collection. Keep going up towards the Beam Drop Inhotim work, 2008, by artist Chris Burden. When you get to the top, look to your right and you will find the beams that the artist dropped from a height of almost 50 yards in a performance that lasted for over 12 hours (see the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBeU-JmEvFE).Following the path is the Piscina, 2009, by Argentinian artist Jorge Macchi. The piece was made after a surrealistic watercolor by the artist which proposed an address book in which the letters were the stairs to a swimming pool. Inhotim invited Macchi to reproduce the piece in three dimensions, resulting in a construction that can be used by visitors. In the woods next to it there is a dressing room with free towels and restrooms, so take a dive with the folks!

After you have refreshed from the heat, walk towards the mountains until you reach a gardening shed. There, and all around it, are letter-shaped vases that make part of A Origem da Obra de Arte, 2002, by Marilá Dardot. This piece invites visitors to plant seeds in these containers and transform them into words to be spread on the field. Names, feelings, promises and desires always make up the landscape. Help the children leave their message, and don’t forget to take a picture! If you share it on the Web, use the hashtag #inhotim to have your post appear to whoever searches for images of the park.
Keep on discovering the park galleries, or if you get hungry make a stop at one of the Inhotim restaurants with varied menus. Do you like our suggestions for visiting Inhotim with children? Leave your comment below!
