...spongelike walls of Harold Paris' Pantomina llluma, a "feelies" room containing $10,000 worth of molded, twisted and flat rubber and polyurethane, tensor lights and stainless steel. Grandmothers cheerfully took off their shoes to clamber around in Lucas Samaras' glittering, mirror-encrusted Alice-in-Wonderland rabbit warren, Corridor, 1967. Hippies gazed dreamily through the barred door of Edward Kienholz's The State Hospital into a Lysol-scented interior where lay the pathetic form of a lunatic...
