Ernesto Neto

If we were all referring to the same artist, I believe Ernesto Neto is one we might have been trying to recall during Kelly Parvin's critique. But if not, please clarify. It does seem fitting. The piece I saw was at the Pompidou in Paris—pictured below. Each hanging "pod" contains a spice...cloves, cumin, turmeric, etc. which really brings on the sensual. An olfactory and tactile extravaganza, although you were directed not to touch!

  1. So much for my first contribution. Yes, Ernesto Neto is the guy I was thinking of.
