Indepth Arts News: "Ernesto Neto: Nhó Nhó Nave" 1999-12-17 until 2000-01-30 Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, TX, USA United States of America
Ernesto Neto, a Brazilian artist in his 30s, will be featured in his first one-person exhibition in the United States. Known for the sensuous style
of his sculptures, the artist commonly uses lycra to create permeable architectural forms as well as small sacks, filled with colorful and aromatic
substances like chili powder and coriander.
These smaller pieces have led to a new series of ovaloids and more monumental pieces which
Neto sometimes calls naves ( a Portuguese neologism which can be translated as vessel.) In Houston, Neto will create a site-specific
installation, Nhó Nhó Nave, which responds to the Museum's Perspectives Gallery spaces. The exhibition is organized by Lynn M. Herbert,
Curator and will be accompanied by a Perspectives -format catalogue.
