Discover the artist Hélio Oiticica – one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. • The Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica challenged the traditional boundaries of art. He made the viewer an active participant in his work, now seen as a major moment in the development of contemporary art. • Hélio Oiticica was part of the Tropicália movement in Brazil, spanning the visual arts, music and film. The term Tropicália was first given to a pair of installations by Oiticica, a song by Caetano Veloso, and an LP released in 1968, featuring artists such as Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa and the psychedelic band Os Mutantes. • The 1960s saw an explosion of cultural creativity in Rio de Janerio and São Paulo as Brazil’s military regime tightened its grip on power. Tropicália became a way for artists to expose the contradictions of modernisation under such an authoritarian rule. • Additional archive courtesy of Adam Ritchie Photography. • Subscribe for weekly films: http://goo.gl/X1ZnEl
