Liz Fagundes Oliveira Valente, Luciana Bosco Silva
This article explores the spatial relations between art and architecture in two art galleries of Instituto Inhotim, extending the use of Martin Heidegger’s (1889-1976) concept of “dwelling” — presented in his essays “Building Dwelling Thinking” and “...poetically, Man dwells...” to the artworks under study. Doug Aitken’s Sonic Pavilion and Cristina Iglesias’ Vegetation Room are taken as key examples of how art dwells” through subjective and concrete relations in both built and natural environments.
