Helio OiticicaDance in my experience

“The experience of samba gave me the exact idea of what creation by the corporal act is: continuous transformability.”

The work of Hélio Oiticica puts us into movement. Arguably one of the most radical artists of the 20th century, Oiticica’s pioneering work stands out for its experimental character. His conceptual and rigorous œuvre is also starkly vital, sensual, sensorial, and committed to experience, participation and the body.

Lavishly illustrated, this is the most comprehensive publication on the artist to date and accompanies a major exhibition organised by the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateubriand (MASP) in partnership with the Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM).
