vane

When throngs of visitors move through the show, which started Nov. 8, they’ll create air currents, stirring the mobiles to move in a slow ballet of weather vanes.

The blades can move to change their pitch and adjust the air flow, as can a set of fixed vanes just behind the fan.

A museum should not change directions like a weather vane but give us the reassurance that some things are timeless and provide us with the history and progression of art.

We can smell mulch, feel the vanes of feathers, bump into doors and taste peppermints.

Navy identified as jet vanes for medium-range ballistic missiles, as well as devices the Navy identified as “impact sensor covers” that go on the tips of those missiles.
