*From the Inside Out: The Embodiment of Color in Hélio Oiticica's Work*
Mari Carmen Ramírez, Curator of Latin American Art, The Museum of Fine
Arts, Houston.
Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980) played a leading role in Brazil's Neo
Concrete movement during the 1960s. Oiticica explored color and its
material presence through abstract paintings, works on paper, hanging
sculptures, and extraordinary boxes, glass vessels, and parangolés
(capes) of diverse materials meant for audience participation. Ramírez
will focus on the artist's groundbreaking exploration of color, drawing
from the 2006-7 exhibition, "Hélio Oiticica: The Body of Color," which
she curated at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Location:
Sackler Museum Lecture Hall
485 Broadway Street
Cambridge, Massachusetts
There will be a reception following the lecture. Free parking is
available at the Broadway Garage on Felton Street, between Cambridge
Street and Broadway.
