    Inspired by Desvio para o Vermelho [Red Shift], a masterpiece by the Brazilian contemporary artist Cildo Meireles, we selected some of the red tones in our collection to construct a room and capture the spectator's view.

    Desvio Para o Vermelho is one of Meireles' most complex and ambitious works – conceived in 1967, assembled in several versions since 1984, and on permanent display at Inhotim since 2006. It is composed of three interlinked rooms. The first, Impregnação [Impregnation], put together a wide-ranging monochromatic collection of furniture, objects, and works of art. One of them is the Leve armchair, designed by Joaquim Tenreiro in 1942 and one of his most iconic creations. 

     

    In the following environments, Entorno [Surroundings] and Desvio [Shift], we have what the artist calls anecdotal explanations of the same phenomenon as in the first room, where color saturates material to become material. The work is open to a range of symbolism and metaphors, from the violence of blood to ideological connotations, but what interests the artist is to offer the viewer a sequence of sensory and psychological impacts: a series of false logical assumptions that always lead us back to the same starting point.

    Instituto Inhotim is a contemporary art museum and botanical garden located in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Among the many art galleries, there is an installation artwork by Cildo Meireles, Desvio para o Vermelho [Red Shift], from 1967 /1984. The title refers to the physics phenomenon called redshift, a particular instance of the relativistic Doppler effect that indicates the red color as the wavelength of light an observer perceives when celestial bodies grow apart. 

    These fantastic designs are available for inquiries, and you can have more photos and information on the Bossa website. 

    To know more about Desvio para o vermelho and Cildo Meireles, check the Inhotim website and his page on Google Arts and Culture.
