Immersive installation by Ernesto Neto transforms Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

On Sunday March 8, Ernesto Neto: SunForceOceanLife, a major 2019 commission from the museum and one of the largest crochet works to date by the renowned Brazilian artist, returns to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. After, over the course of several weeks, a team of more than a dozen people has once again constructed a labyrinth of interior pathways for visitors to explore, all while suspended 12 feet in the air. Ernesto Neto: SunForceOceanLife will be on view from March 8 to September 7, 2026, in Cullinan Hall of the Caroline Wiess Law Building. Notes Gary Tinterow, Director, the Margaret Alkek Williams Chair, MFAH, “This singular commission reflects our commitment to Latin American artists and to engaging our visitors in unique art experiences. SunForceOceanLife has joined landmark installations by other Neto’s predecessors, most notably Gyula Kosice and Jesús Rafael Soto, whose visionary work we are able to present on an ongoing basis.” SunForce
