The building appears to be literally suspended in the air by the beams you see above it. We walked the entire length of the building underneath. Inhotim Meireles installation, Inmensa | Please note the size of the piece in proportion with the person in the picture.

Br-InhotimColorBlocks - Invention of Color, Penetrable Magic Square #5, De Luxe was conceived by the late Hélio Oiticica in 1977, and was especially created for Inhotim . Bronze sculptures - Edgard de Souza. From the Institute: 'For Inhotim the artist conceived an installation of three of his most important sculptures, grouping them for the first time in the midst of the gardens as a kind of piazzetta. These bronze statues, executed over the past decade, depict a male figure based upon the artist’s own body, in fragmented, impossible and abstracted poses, evoking the history of art and landscaping and a lost paradise.'. Galeria Adriana Varejao, Inhotim - Another crucial aspect of the museum is the architecture, which I have not gotten into, given the sensory feast that is Inhotim. However, this gallery was one I wanted to show in particular. It shows the permanent collection of Varejao, who is incidentally Paz's fifth wife. Inhotim Meireles installation The artist created several rooms within the pavilion. Having dealt drugs as a student to pay his way through higher studies, the artist tries to create the experience and stages of cocaine.

Galeria Melissa - In Brazil, art is always present whether in the graffiti or in this instance, in an open gallery space in the Jardins neighborhood. In a street lined with stores, this was an alcove with a bench in the centre.
