Resumen

KHOURI, Magda Guimarães. Lifeless bodies, smoke sculpture. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2010, vol.33, n.51, pp.106-114. ISSN 0101-3106.

From Roy Glover’s exhibition Bodies − The Exhibition, the author observes the impact of the excessive concreteness leaving a little margin for the symbolic maneuver. The place of the body disclosure without a name or past or subjectivity is one of the grand questions examined in the conception of this exhibition. The exhibition Ascension, by Anish Kapoor, as a counterpoint, leads us to themes related to the abyss and the emptiness, from a different point of view as for the transcendence sensations. In the abstract point, this work of art causes unusual sensorial experiences.

Palabras clave : Body; Sculpture; Sensorial experiences; Subjective history; Emptiness.
