Liz Glynn's sprawling installation — spread across 30,000 square feet — begins with a sequence of three "analog caves" that hearken back to basic sensory experiences. The third cave, SMELL, includes a series of hand-formed ceramic vessels based on platonic forms each containing scents linked to philosophical ideas, such as the Epicurean notion that partaking in pleasure leads to well-being.
