Summary: | The "Parque Lage", is a public park with walking trails through a subtropical forest at the foot of the Corcovado hill in Rio de Janeiro. The land was formerly the residence of industrialist Enrique Lage. The Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage operates in the former mansion, while the building known as the "Cavalarias" was originally the stables and is now part of the entrance to the park. The exhibition comprises the photographic documentation of the installation created by artist Joao Modé (b. Resende, RJ, 1961) an interactive project using a long suspended rope through the stables and a wooden elevated path with music and sounds combined with moments of silence that invite the public through a "guided walk into the park". "An artist that decides to reinvent, revisit and recall part of the theories (and assumes the concepts) of Erico Bony and of Dorothy L. Retallack, who published a book that became reference, entitled "The Sound of Music and Plants" (also available for consultation in the exhibition) in wich she tells the story of the unbelievable changes she observed when she played a series of pieces of music and rhythms to some species of plants" --P. [119]. |
