of the armadillo. Made from an aluminium<br />
polypropylene composite, the bag has a<br />
futuristic appearance and a sturdy protective<br />
shell. It folds fl at for storage.<br />

Exhibition<br />
Festival Brazil<br />
Ernesto Neto’s<br />
works are being<br />
displayed as part<br />
of Festival Brazil. A<br />
mix of art, music,<br />
dance, literature and<br />
food, the festival<br />
celebrates the<br />
vibrant culture of<br />
contemporary Brazil.<br />
Ernesto Neto has been invited to transform London’s Southbank Centre.<br />
One of the leading fi gures in Brazil’s contemporary art scene, Neto is<br />
known for his large-scale, almost membrane-like installations that visitors<br />
experience through sight, touch and smell. In this show, he will use the<br />
Southbank Centre’s upper galleries and outdoor sculpture terraces for a<br />
site-specifi c commission and several new sculptural works. The exhibition<br />
runs from June 19 to September 5. See southbankcentre.co.uk for more.<br />
