Ann and Mike came closest to the right answer.
This is a composition (I am not sure if it falls under the
definition of scupture?) at the Institute Contemporary Art in Boston.
(That's why I thought Mark and a few others might be familiar with it.
It is a aboute 1 sq. meter cube consisting exclusively of needles.

There are no magnets involved (although I expect the needles themselves
might be slightly magnetized). The needles are held primarily by friction.
They do not allow visitors touching it.
I've been told that the composition is reassembled by staff every few
months.
I almost walked into it, as (unlike in the photo on the webpage above) it
is in the middle of the room.
I hope you enjoyed this puzzle.
Cheers,
Igor

I was thinking a haystack of needles - perhaps something magnetic gripping
little sewing pins?

I came across this relatively recent shot.
And I thought it might be a good puzzle for those who haven't seen it in
person. (I assume that at least 1-2 PDMLers have seen it, - if so, - please
don't spoil the fun for others prematurely.)
