From Artists Curated Registry
Jump to navigationJump to search
= a Brazilian art movement (1959–61) that emerged from Concrete Art, rejecting its rigid, rationalist, and scientific approach in favor of a more phenomenological, sensory, and subjective experience; influenced by Ferreira Gullar's "Theory of the Non-Object" and a 1959 manifesto, it aimed to make art more participatory, interactive, and organic, where the viewer engages with the artwork to complete it, focusing on the body and emotional, poetic expression.
