Art dwells: Heidegger?s concept of dwelling and the spatial relations between architecture and contemporary art in two artworks at Instituto Inhotim (Brazil) | A arte habita: o conceito de habitar em Heidegger e as relações espaciais entre arquitetura e arte contemporânea em dois trabalhos no Instituto Inhotim (Brasil)

Resumen

This article explores the spatial relations between art and architecture in two art galleries of Instituto Inhotim, extending the use of Martin Heidegger?s (1889-1976) concept of ?dwelling? ? presented in his essays ?Building Dwelling Thinking? and ?...poetically, Man dwells...? to the artworks under study. Doug Aitken?s Sonic Pavilion and Cristina Iglesias? Vegetation Room are taken as key examples of how art dwells? through subjective and concrete relations in both built and natural environments.
