Ernesto Neto

Opens: 19/06/2010 Closes: 05/09/2010 Hayward Gallery, London

For its reopening, the Hayward Gallery hosts Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto, known for his luscious structures often created from lycra, spices and plastic forms. The dazzling installations and site-specific pieces on show include Neto's recent large-scale experiments with steel. His work is also featured in the concurrent New Décor exhibition in the lower galleries.

Time Out“Perhaps the most immersive, user-friendly experience going...” You can poke your head through the skin-tight stocking structures, smell the hanging tea bags filled with herbal concoctions and, if you happen to be wearing the right outfit, pop out for a swim on one of the terraces. But that's about it...

this is london“It feels as insubstantial as it does enjoyable... ” Neto asks us to throw ourselves into his world: to climb rickety steps and enter biomorphic structures, to bang drums, to smell pendulous forms packed with spices, even take a dip in a sculpture-cum-swimming pool.

Guardian“It is an ethereal dream...” The show is a heady, out-of-body experience made to draw us together in its gorgeous embrace. It is one of the most uplifting trips you could have in a gallery.

The Independent“You feel a tiny twinge of the sublime” The point of Neto's work is to rediscover homo ludens (Playing Man) – to get City brokers beating out a kettle-drum pulse in an adult-sized sheer red heart, or overeducated art critics making like Tinky Winky.
