One of the most important exponents of contemporary art in South
America, Helio Oiticica creates multimedia room installations which
intertwine social themes, experimental elements, and appropriations
from popular culture, film, and music. This book focuses on works
which have rarely been seen elsewhere, works in which Oiticica
questions the traditional relationship between the audience and the
world of the movies, such as his "quasi-cinemas," which combine slide
projections and music. The lavish nine-part sequence "Black
Experiments in Cosmacocoa" is published here for the first time,
alongside Oiticica's own notes and critical texts. Edited by Ann
Bremner. Essays by Carlos Basualdo, Dan Cameron, Helio Oiticica,
Ivana Bentes. Introduction by Sherri Geldin, Udo Kittelmann, and Lisa
Phillips. 9 x 12 in. 50 color, 50 b/w illustrations English/German
