Uma poética ambiental - Cildo Meireles (1963-1970)

This thesis has as its object the Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles formation and production between the years 1963 and 1970 in the cities of Brasília and Rio de Janeiro, and the discussion of these facts in relation to the idea of an emphasis in its environmental aspects.The aim is to verify how the "Brasília's perspective", an idea brought up by Mário Pedrosa and Frederico Morais in 1967, and the development of an unfolding of Hélio Oiticica's Environmental Program, can be found and discussed in the artist's work, creating an alternative to a restricted vision of his work in the international conceptualism overview.It is possible to conclude, from an analysis of the sources and the concept of environmental art, and from the confrontation with other artists (Piero Manzoni, Yves Klein, Pier Paolo Calzolari and Hélio Oiticica), that exists an approach of Cildo Meireles to the aspects which aim at the production of environments, environmental works and experiences, and that we can consider his work inserted in an "environmental poetics", which will be fully accomplished in the Blindhotland series
