DESCRIPTION:The Dance Works exhibitions explore the legendary collaboratio
 ns between choreographer Merce Cunningham and leading visual artists\, dra
 wing from the 2011 acquisition of more than 2\,000 objects from the Merce 
 Cunningham Dance Company collection—the single largest acquisition of vi
 sual art in the Walker’s history. \nRio de Janeiro–based Ernesto Neto 
 is a leading figure in the international contemporary art scene\, known fo
 r large-scale\, abstract sculptural environments that are influenced by th
 e human body and other living organisms. Neto created otheranimal\, a monu
 mental installation of suspended biomorphic forms above the dancers onstag
 e\, for Cunningham’s Views on Stage\, which premiered at the Edinburgh F
 estival Theatre in 2004. Made of translucent white fabric\, its elements w
 ere intended as a kind of blank canvas to be illuminated by colored lights
 . Visitors experience the work in the Perlman Gallery\, whose dramatically
  high ceilings approximate the fly space of a theater stage\, bringing vie
 wers into an otherworldly realm. A video excerpt of a performance of the d
 ance by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company accompanies the exhibition.\n\n
