Cildo Meireles - Encontros [Portuguese]

By Cildo Meireles

The ideas of visual artist Cildo Meireles do not respect places or national identities; they are, therefore, poetic detours that travel through a network permeated with symbologies and metaphors toward a consistent thought about contemporary artistic practices. Cildo's privileged observations gathered here in an unprecedented way construct, argue, and reflect a possibility of renewal of the artistic environment.

"What interests me in fine arts is this possibility that for every idea you start from scratch. In a way, I have an aversion to the so-called style. I think that style is excellent for the art trade, but it is bad for artists because they become enslaved. However, I see that each work of mine has a kind of biography."
