A curator discusses the pleasures—and challenges—of working with Rodney McMillian’s massive vinyl sculpture "Succulent" (2010).

In our latest online edition of MoMA's ArtSpeaks program, a member of our staff shares personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, Marlene Hess Curator of Painting and Sculpture Michelle Kuo talks about Rodney McMillian's "shape-shifting" work, and its new installation that transforms the lobby space into a portal into another world.
