For the first time in New York, three of the late Brazilian avant-garde artist Helio Oiticica's rarely-seen multi-sensorial installations of color: Penetravel PN1 (1960); Penetravel Filtro (1972); and Penetravel PN28 "Nas Quebradas" (1979), will be on view at Galerie Lelong. Oiticica's invention of the Penetravel (Penetrable) series brought a new dimension to the artist's work, allowing him to create built environments and develop outdoor installations such as the well-known Magic Square series. Oiticica's Penetrables are considered among the first art installations, and have not been credited enough for their contribution to early conceptual art. Helio Oiticica: Penetrables opens to the public today, May 5, 2012 from 6 to 8 pm and the exhibition runs through June 16, 2012. The artist's brothers, Cesar and Claudio Oiticica, who direct the Projeto Helio Oiticica in Brazil will be present opening night.
