Ernesto Neto
Die traditionelle Auffassung von Bildhauerei weit hinter sich lassend, erschafft Ernesto Neto biomorphe Skulpturen und Rauminstallationen, die das gesamte menschliche Wahrnehmungsvermögen fordern.
Seine künstlerische Grundhaltung ist fest in der brasilianischen Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte verwurzelt. Bereits in den 1960er-Jahren haben allen voran Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica und Lygia Pape wesentliche Weichen gestellt hinsichtlich einer alle Sinne berührenden, interaktiven Kunst und deren sozialem Potenzial.
Gleichzeitig spielen indigenes Wissen und traditionelles Handwerk eine wichtige Rolle in Netos bioskulpturalem Kunstkosmos, dem eine Weltsicht zugrunde liegt, die sich der Vorstellung einer Ganzheit von Natur, Mensch und Gesellschaft verpflichtet fühlt.
Tatsächlich schafft Neto nicht nur Nähe, sondern hebt Grenzen auf. Bei seinen Humanoides (2001), können und sollen die Besucher in die Skulpturen – mit Styroporkügelchen gefüllte Polyamidschläuche – hineinschlüpfen, sie durchdringen, sie riechen, umhertragen, auf ihnen sitzen, um in Verbindung mit der Kunst sich selbst zu erleben.
Diese unmittelbare, körperlich-sinnliche Zugänglichkeit zu seinem Werk ist bei Neto Programm: Die Menschen sind Teil der Kunst, wie sie auch Teil der Natur sind – Achtsamkeit, Verantwortung und Respekt sind im gegenseitigen Umgang gefordert.
