<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>How Hélio Oiticica led Brazilian art's transition from abstract art to performable sculpture</strong></p><p>One of the most radical and joyful artists of the 20th century, Hélio Oiticica (1937-80) helped lead the charge in Brazilian art's unique transition from abstract concrete art to performative objects and collective performance. <p/>As MoMA's 2019 exhibition <i>Sur Moderno</i> demonstrated, one of Oiticica's most revolutionary projects was the <i>Parangolé</i>, wearable sculptures made from fabric, plastic or paper. The <i>Parangolé</i> is meant to be worn, inhabited and danced by a participant, lending a physical spontaneity to the piece that entirely blurs the boundaries between the art object and those who experience it. <p/><i>Dance in My Experience</i> traces the genealogy of this theme within the artist's oeuvre, identifying rhythmic, choreographic and dance elements throughout his trajectory, from his first <i>Metaesquemas</i> through the <i>Spatial Reliefs</i>, <i>Nuclei</i> and <i>Bólides</i>, culminating in the <i>Parangolés</i>. It includes texts by Oiticica and contributions by numerous scholars.</p>
