Intervention may be the latest buzz word for site-specific installations, but in the case of Brazilian Ernesto Neto it is particularly appropriate. At the Butler Gallery, he has chosen to interface with four other artists, all born in Rio de Janeiro during the 1960s. There is also a sixth collaborator: the viewer. Tatiana Grinberg invites people to play with a mass of oozing gel on the floor. Neto rises to Grinberg’s interactive challenge with an over-sized beanbag, Place for the Musa Rest, above, for visitors to sink into. The show is all about sensory interaction, physical in places and implicit in others: we may only look at the work At a Table with Friends, but we can smell the ground spices in Neto’s Lipizoids, and bear witness to the gravity and wind that hold Contemporary Woman and The Shadow of the Wind in constant suspension. The show is not so much a meeting of minds as five individuals dancing to complementary rhythms.
