Last Fall semester our class got to visit UT Museum where Cildo Meireles's permanent instalation was showcased. At first, the sight of this instalation was a bit eerie and beautiful at the same time. It glows even though a black veil surrounds the whole instalation.
This instalation was comissioned by the Church in Brazil and ironically it criticizes the church.
He made a statement with his artwork that it took money and the death of many native people from Brazil in order to build the catholic church.
