THE LEAD

Goodwood Art Foundation Unveils First Outdoor Hélio Oiticica Installation in Europe

via Lisson Gallery

Goodwood Art Foundation has unveiled the first outdoor installation in Europe by Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980), a maze-like structure titled Magic Square #3 (1978/2026). The open-air architectural labyrinth, made from brightly coloured painted walls, occupies a 15 x 15 x 5-metre footprint on the edge of the Foundation’s woodland with views towards the Sussex coast. Designed to be walked through and explored, the work embodies Oiticica’s participatory vision, with planes of colour shifting under natural light. The installation is on long-term loan to Goodwood Art Foundation and was constructed according to the late artist’s instructions.
