Ernesto Neto: Soplo

Nov 29, 2019 – Feb 16, 2020
Av. Pres. Figueroa Alcorta 3415, C1425 CLA, Buenos Aires, Argentina

“For me, mind and body are one thing, always together,” the artist Ernesto Neto has said, “and it is through the movement of such body-minds that we connect the things in this world, in life.” Made with soft stretchy materials and woven fibers, Neto’s biomorphic sculptures—often scaled to make you feel you’re inside a nasal cavity, or a giant hive of dripping honey, or a cathedral of spores—provoke overwhelming sensory experiences. This is one of Neto’s largest retrospectives yet. —E.C.
