I saw this being installed last night. I’d recommend anyone in NYC to go to this while it’s showing. It’s a full on visual-sensory overload. Nothing I could say could prepare you for this installation… just go see it in person!

An Epic Installation in Wade Thompson Drill Hall
Curated by Tom Eccles.
Park Avenue Armory launches its first commissioned art installation with anthropodino, a large-scale, interactive work 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.
Open Hours
Tuesday through Friday: 12pm – 8pm
Saturday through Monday: 12pm – 6pm
Memorial Day: 12pm – 6pm
Gallery information is at Armoryon Park.org.
