The Faena Arts Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina is currently playing host to a new installation of works by Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto.
The exhibition, which runs until the end of this month has been curated by Jessica Morgan, who is more usually based in London, where she's the contemporary art curator at Tate Modern.
Neto is one of the most important figures in the current Brazilian art scene - heir to the Brazilian art movement known as 'Neo-Concreto', which places the spectator at the centre of the creative action, thereby converting physical interaction into a key aspect of his work.
With a working method situated somewhere between sculpture and installation, Neto's pieces take up the whole expositional space, creating spatial labyrinths in which fine membranes – stretched taught and fixed at various points – containing spices of varying colours and aromas (such as saffron and cloves) hang down here and there in the shape of enormous droplets.
Gorgeous work in an exceptional space; if you're in town, go see...
