TrAIN Open Lecture | Jochen Volz | Unfolding an Institution, Finding Inhotim

27 February 2013

Inhotim is a collection and an art institution specifically conceived upon the notion of site specificity and specific siting of art works and projects. Situated in the Brazilian countryside, 60 kilometres from the city of Belo Horizonte, Inhotim has found international recognition as a case-study for how local context can transcend into new museum standards, and how artists from all over the world do push the understanding of a place beyond geography towards states of awareness and engagement. The lecture will explore some examples of artists such as Carlos Garaicoa, Cildo Meireles, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Doris Salcedo, Doug Aitken, Helio Oiticica, Marilá Dardot, Matthew Barney and Rirkrit Tiravanija, amongst others.
