Inhotim.2

The juxtaposition of landscape, architecture and art at times made your vision-mind swirl. All of these senses blended together in new ways and served as a vibrant counterpoint to the quiet banal of the traditional art gallery walls. Like how Sir John Soane had brought his bit of the Grand Journey back to his Brownstone on Lincoln's Inn Fields covering every nook of his tiny house, here the world of art is brought to Brazil and presented with equal intensity married to the landscape of this wild country.



This pavilion features handmade tiles by the artist Adriana Varejão. The building is quite well done so i sketched it.


In another pavilion is artwork by Doris Salcedo where with a heavy pressure machine chainlink is pressed into the sheetrock wall of the gallery space. The affect is astounding, beautiful, minimal and overwhelmingly powerful.
