Babel 2001 by Clido Meireles at the Tate Modern in London. A tower of radios playing all at once, addresses ideas of information overload and failed communication.

[k00299471]

A tower of radios playing at once , each tuned to a different station relating to the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, a tower tall enough to reach the heavens. God was offended by the structure and caused the builders to speak in a different language, no longer able to understand one another , they became divided and scattered across the earth and began all mankind's conflict.

Exploring this structure in the Tate last week I feel a connection with my own concept of distrust, could this be an explanatory way to expand my ideas.

I also felt it reminded me of David Batchelors "Magic Hour " Chromaphobia.

Babel 2001 was created by Brazilian conceputal artist Cildo Meireles (born 1948). It's on display for free at the Tate Modern, London!

Babel 2001 is a large-scale sculptural installation that takes the form of a circular tower made from hundreds of second-hand analogue radios that the artist has stacked in layers. The radios are tuned to a multitude of different stations and are adjusted to the minimum volume at which they are audible. (...)

The installation manifests, quite literally, a Tower of Babel, relating it to the biblical story of a tower tall enough to reach the heavens, which, offending God, caused him to make the builders speak in different tongues. Their inability to communicate with one another caused them to become divided and scatter across the earth and, moreover, became the source of all of mankind’s conflicts.

Desvio para o vermelho, de Cildo Meireles

Desvio para o Vermelho é um de seus trabalhos mais complexos e ambiciosos – concebido em 1967, montado em diferentes versões desde 1984 e exibido em Inhotim em caráter permanente desde 2006. Formado por três ambientes articulados entre si, no primeiro deles, Impregnação, nos deparamos com uma exaustiva coleção monocromática de móveis, objetos e obras de arte em diferentes tons, reunidos “de maneira plausível mas improvável” por alguma idiossincrasia doméstica.

Cildo Meireles é um escultor e pintor brasileiro. Conhecido internacionalmente, Cildo cria os objetos e instalações que diretamente levam o observador em uma experiência sensorial completa, questionando, entre outros temas, a ditadura militar no Brasil e a dependência do país na economia global.

“Babel” by Cildo Meireles (2001)

[etakeh]

Ok I was going to leave well alone with a comment, but no.

Do you ask Pieter Bruegel the Elder why? Do you ask M. C. Escher why? Do you ask Cildo Meireles why?

Great art is its own reason.

It's a RADIO TOWER!

Thanks @to-the-fishies for doing an ID and naming the artist, I was so annoyed with myself that I didn't take a picture of the placard.

[ID: a sculpture by Cildo Meireles consisting of a tall, thick tower, roughly twenty feet high, made completely of radios and boom boxes from a number of eras in the 20th and 21st centuries. There's one in there that's the same model as the one I owned in high school.]
