Sculptures combine marine life, E.T.

This "Folpo" or octopus was created in 2007 by Maria Grazia Rosin of Italy with glass blown by Italian Sergio Tiozzo and halogen lighting. This artwork is one of a group of 21 hanging sculptures on display at the Carnegie Museum of Art.

PITTSBURGH — "Forum 62: Maria Grazia Rosin" continues through June 28 in the Forum Gallery at the Carnegie Museum of Art, 4400 Forbes Ave.

Re-creating an installation from the Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, Italy, this exhibition includes 21 hanging chandelier-like sculptures by Rosin.

Part-marine and part-extraterrestrial, these illuminated sculptures are combined with a video projection by Andrew Quinn and a sound installation by the duo Visnadi and Camomatic to create a fully immersive exhibition.

Other exhibits continuing include: "Laboratory of Architecture/Fernando Romero" through May 31, "Matsubara Naoko: A Celebration in Pittsburgh" through June 7, and "Opera for a Small Room" through July 19.

Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, with additional hours until 8 p.m. Thursdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. Closed major holidays.

Admission, which includes the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, is $15 for adults, $12 for senior citizens, and $11 for students and children age 3 and older, and free for members and children younger than 3.
