Nave Nove by Ernesto Neto Pinta Miami 2015 showed large, experimental, pieces by Ernesto Neto and Carlos Martiel. These works, in a way, define Pinta's second year. Pinta is the first fair to dedicate itself totally to Latin American art.
Neto's work, Nave Nove, is part of the Tiroche DeLeon Collection and is created out of a white stocking-like material. The Brazilian artist often fills his sculptures with styrofoam or spices. This particular piece was intended to allow visitors to walk through it and put hands through the sides (near the end of the video).
Martiel's piece, DIctatura, was part of Time Sensitive-Pinta Projects and examines the grip dictatorship has often had on Latin America. A man is chained, by his neck, completely nude, completely exposed, to a flagpole. The man is the artist himself and the performance continued throughout the fair. The flags of 21 nations went up that flagpole--each nations that have been (or currently are) dictatorships. Some of these dictatorships were themselves "sponsored" by the School of the Americas.
