<p>The ideas of visual artist Cildo Meireles do not respect places or national identities; they are therefore poetic detours that travel through a network permeated with symbologies and metaphors toward a consistent thought about contemporary artistic practices.

In a way I have an aversion to the so-called style. I think that style is excellent for the art trade but it is bad for artists because they become enslaved. However I see that each work of mine has a kind of biography.</p><p><br></p>
