Hélio Oiticica y la blanca singularidad simultánea de Newyorkaises

Abstract

In this respect, the article aims, on the one hand, to give an overview of Hélio Oiticica’s work, evaluating thematic choices and literary and artistic procedures. Also, I carry out an evaluative analysis of the specificities and the contributions of this Rio de Janeiro artist’s unorthodox and groundbreaking Newyorkaises (Conglomerado) , at the crossroads of different art forms and generic hybridization. Finally, I also examine the cultural encyclopaedia of the literary, plastic and musical pensum that lies behind this experimental writing and the visualist, (neo)avant-gardist and countercultural mode it obeys.
