The Park Avenue Armory launched its new annual artist commission program on Wednesday with the debut of Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto's eight-story-tall "anthropodino" installation. The structure consists of a suspended canopy of translucent fabric, with pathways, rooms, and tunnels for viewers to explore, including fragrant passageways with pendulous fabric forms filled with hundreds of pounds of spices, including cumin, black pepper, ginger, and clove. Other interactive sections include a playground-like pool of balls to wade into, as well as built-in seat cushions and a fanciful, mulitcolored carpet. The multisensory installation is on display through June 14, and general admission is $10.
