Milan inaugurates its surprising Balloon Museum
Milan is the third stop in a museum dedicated to the art inflation that has thrilled more than a million visitors between Paris and Rome. Immersion in the dreamlike and playful art of the Balloon Museum.
This is not an exhibition (only) dedicated to children. air-pop de Balloon Museum is a comprehensive exhibition of art, with air as the common subject of the works of 18 artists represented. After Paris and Rome, the installations invade the spaces of Superstudio (via Tortona 27) from December 23, 2022 to February 12, 2023, sculptures with unexpected and often monumental shapes, in a dreamlike atmosphere suspended in time.
The opportunity to discover the Airship Orchestra of Eness, a tribe of characters with an ironic and playful appearance among which walk and live a surprising sound experience, where light and music dialogue and Rub Kandy’s Ginjos, colorful and mysterious.
Sculptor Max Streicher presents Silenus, a sleeping giant of monumental dimensions, who shows the viewer his vulnerability. Thanks to the inflatable technology, it seems to breathe or move slowly, like before waking up.
Although these are works of art, the watchword is “interaction”!
This is particularly the case with the site-specific intervention Giallo 368, a Penique Productions collective, which appropriates a large environment and modifies its perception: a light and colorful envelope surrounds the room and is transformed into a living architecture, animated by the air generated by the fans, deserves a feeling of disorientation in the viewer.
When air becomes art
Air becomes an architectural element with Tholos de Plastique Fantastique, a tribute to the temples of antiquity, revisited in an inflatable way. The installation, unveiled as a world premiere on the occasion of the exhibition, ironically reflects on geometry and shapes with mirrored and transparent materials.
Finally, environments with an unexpected design and encouraging interaction welcome the visitor along the Balloon Streeta journey through works with pop colors and ironic suggestions in which viewers become protagonists by taking photos and videos of their experience.
An artistic invitation, to irony and play!
