I saw a great show at Macba by Brasilian artist Cildo Meireles. Landscapes, open cages, small objects conjure a vastly evocative personal universe. Meireles gives installations a good name. Here is a photo of one his great pieces, a tower of Babel made of radios. But the picture does not by any means convey the majesty of the sculpture, its towering presence in a dark room, with blinking lights and dissonant symphony of sound.
