This summer, Ernesto Neto: SunForceOceanLife fills Cullinan Hall with a massive sculptural spiral. Two points of entry beckon visitors to explore the captivating labyrinth of interior pathways suspended in mid-air. Each hand-woven crochet element is filled with plastic balls that rearrange themselves as visitors move through the installation.
