Reinvenção da rua - Uma reflexão

Public art and its usefulness: reflections on the homeless people of New York and São Paolo, starting with the work by Vito Acconci, an international icon of Public Art. The installation, which was created in 60 days under the Glicério viaduct in São Paolo, is "something like a house for the street," a housecontainer added to the viaduct. In counterpoint, the words of  the homeless population. Helena Ignez and Rogério Sganzerla met Vito Acconci in New York. Acconci is the most important late-20th century pioneer of performance, video, installations and exploration of architectonic space. His work has extended the confines of art, moving beyond the gallery or museum into shared public space. Initially a poet, Acconci began dedicating himself to Conceptual Art during the late 1960s. Helena Ignez's reflection touches themes about existence in its widest sense and offers the spectator a meditation on the perpetuating cycle of life.
