Invented in secret in the privacy of Oiticica's New York loft in the early 1970s, they were not shown as works of art until 1992, twelve years after Oiticica's death, when the first and third in the series — CC1 Trashiscapes and CC3 Maileryn — were exhibited as part of the first traveling retrospective of the artist's work.3 Prior to that exhibition, Oiticica's New York sojourn was little analyzed due to the perceived paucity of his artistic production between the years 1970 and 1978.4 The 1992 presentation of the Cosmococas was revelatory in this regard: not only did these quasi-cinemas demonstrate the continuity and conceptual elaboration of key aesthetic concerns within Oiticica's work (the vertiginous passage from painterly to narcotic «pigment» in service of the sensorial is surely the most striking of these animating threads), they indicated the artist's pointed engagement with the avant - garde artistic culture of New York.
