Anthropodino. Park Ave. Armory Installation. Ernesto Neto. 2009.

Park Avenue Armory launched its first commissioned art installation with anthropodino, a large-scale, interactive sculpture by world-renowned artist, Ernesto Neto. Using hundreds of yards of translucent material, Neto suspends a gigantic canopy from the drill hall’s latticework truss, spanning 120 feet wide and 180 feet long. Magnificent, aromatic “fabric stalactites” descend 60 feet to embrace a vast labyrinth of passageways and rooms.

Waiting for Elmo

This would have been helpful senior year of high school, Mr. Hanlon's English Honors class. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten a 'D' on my paper about that stupid, stupid play. I actually could have written ten meaningful pages on this Sesame Street version of "Waiting for Godot."
