"Ernesto Neto: Sister Naves"
2000-04-14 until 2000-08-13
Wexner Center for the Arts
Columbus, OH,
USA
One of the leading Latin American artists
working today, Ernesto Neto creates
site-specific sculptural installations that
explore architectural space and human
behavior. His Sister Naves, a new work
commissioned by the Wexner Center, offers you
an opportunity to experience art through many
senses. Visually exquisite, touchable, and
aromatic--the scent of clove perfumes the
installation--Sister Naves was conceived
especially for the Wexner Center.
The title
refers to the three sister ships of Christopher
Columbuss 1492 voyage to the Americas. To
Neto, the sheer fabric forms might suggest the
Nina and Pinta, Columbuss smaller ships,
re-united in Columbus with the replica of the
Santa Maria, Columbuss largest ship, moored
in the Scioto River downtown. Youll be enticed
to explore this environment made for discovery
and dreaming.
