Hélio Oiticica, “Penetrables,” at Galerie Lelong, 528 West 26th Street, May 4-June 16, 2012

Installed for the first time in New York, Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica’s color-filled penetrables from the 1960s and 1970s — especially the maze that allows the participant to walk through the rainbow, culminating with a refreshing glass of orange juice — are playful winks at his audience, urging them to create their own artwork by actively engaging with the space. — Shane Ferro
