A Sensorial Rainforest. Haptic Spatiality in Ernesto Neto's installations

In this article I study some sculptures and interactive-tactile installations of Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto in light of contributions on hapticity and affect from the field of “Affective Turn”, and considering how some art practices see themselves as a “cure” in a natural environment in crisis.

By using everyday materials and techniques such as aromatic spices, synthetic threads, textiles, and crochet, Neto's sculptural installations invite a sensory experience that involves different modes of perception/immersion. At the crossroads between sculpture, installation and textile art, his works challenge the viewer to invert the hierarchy between the senses of sight, smell and touch, at the same time that the collaborative nature of the work produces a physical experience that actively influences the relationship between the participants. This affective and performative component of the haptic and spatial practices in Neto's works is central to the articulation of “new ways of being in the world” that are more empathic with the environment, and with the universe of the living. A partir de Soplo (2019), la retrospectiva de Ernesto Neto en el Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), propongo abordar algunas esculturas e instalaciones interactivo-táctiles del artista brasileño poniendo en relación los debates que al interior del “giro afectivo” se desarrollan sobre las dimensión háptica y el afecto y los modos en que esta práctica artística se presenta como “cura” en un entorno natural en crisis. Por medio del trabajo sobre materiales “poco nobles” –especias aromáticas, hilos sintéticos, textiles– y técnicas artesanales de croché, las instalaciones escultóricas de Neto invitan a una experiencia sensorial que implica diferentes formas de percepción/inmersión. En el cruce entre la escultura, la instalación y el arte textil, Neto desafía al espectador a invertir la jerarquía entre los sentidos de la vista, el olfato y el tacto, al mismo tiempo que el carácter colaborativo de la obra involucra de manera activa no solo los procesos perceptivos, sino la relación entre los participantes. Este componente afectivo y performático de las prácticas hápticas y espaciales en las obras de Neto es central para articular “formas de estar en el mundo” más empáticas con el entorno y el universo de lo vivo.  Centro de Producción e Investigación en Artes, Facultad de Artes, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. 2022-09-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Double-blind peer-reviewed article Artículo revisado por sistema de pares doble ciego application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/ART/article/view/38638 10.55443/artilugio.n8.2022.38638 ark:/s2408462x/3d0kunkfx Artilugio; No. 8 (2022): Artistic Practices, Planetary Crisis and Possible Lives; 90-107 Artilugio; Núm. 8 (2022): Prácticas artísticas, crisis planetaria y vidas posibles; 90-107 Artilugio; n. 8 (2022): Prácticas artísticas, crisis planetaria y vidas posibles; 90-107 2408-462X 10.55443/artilugio.n8.2022 ark:/s2408462x/b8bok3jj5 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/ART/article/view/38638/38768 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/ART/article/view/38638/38708 https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/ART/article/view/38638/38709 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
