385: Inhotim water mirror
At a short distance (60 km) from Belo Horizonte, Inhotim Park and Contemporary Open Air Museum offers a unique combination of contemporary art and nature. Art works from various artists from Brazil and abroad are found widespread in the park. One of the art works is Galeria Adriana Varejão, created in 2008 by architect Rodrigo Cerviño Lopez from São Paulo. It consists of a large, closed concrete box, with an entrance over a water mirror. That water mirror forms a prefect division with the surrounding nature. As a result, the turquoise blue hue of the water mirror creates an interesting contrast with natural green hues of the plants, as is seen in the photograph.

379: Beetles in primary colors
One of the most popular attractions in Inhotim – a park that hosts various pieces of contemporary art that are harmonized with the natural environment – is Troca-Troca (‘Change-Change’ or ‘Swapping’) by artist Jarbas Lopes (2002). Many visitors love to see the beetles (fuscas in Portuguese), made from swapped body parts that are painted in red, blue, and yellow. The cars are linked to each other through a sound system. Recently, the beetles have been repainted: the dark orange color being replaced by a red hue, as requested by the artist.

370: Sunlit spheres in Inhotim Park
In 1966, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama illegally placed 1500 stainless steel spheres on a lawn during the 33rd Venice Biennale. During the first week, she sold, like a peddler, the spheres for two dollars each, in protest against the commercialization of art. She then got expelled from the Biennale, but her work remained. In 2009, a new version of the spheres was installed in Inhotim – an institute containing a contemporary art museum integrated with a botanical garden – near Belo Horizonte. Five hundred spheres floating in a pond near the Burle Marx Educational Center, inspirational for various photographs showing reflections on the shiny spheres.

351: Colored panels
At a distance of about 60 km from Belo Horizonte, within the limits of the municipality of Brumadinho, is an interesting botanical garden as well as a contemporary art museum: Inhotim. Inhotim was created by former mining magnate Bernardo Vaz, who sold his impressive art collection and acquired a large area around his farm. At present, the area is more then twenty square kilometers. Only a small part of this vast area is publicly accessible, and contains a number of art works and art galleries that are integrated in the botanical garden, which contains more than 1500 palm tree species, the largest in the world. One of the principal art pieces consists of nine large colored panels, in a vertical position. This art piece by Hélio Oiticia (1937-1980) is called “Magic Square No. 5” (Invenção da cor, Penetrável Magic Square # 5, De Luxe , 1977). They symbolize buildings in open air, with which the visitor can feel, touch, inspire, and visualize within this labyrinth square.
