BLOW UP:
Inflatable Contemporary Art

Inflatable structures connote fun and whimsy, and challenge our everyday, feet-on-the-ground perspective. BLOW UP explores the imaginative ways that artists use air as a tool for creating large-scale sculpture and includes imagery that is figurative, conceptual, and abstract. Accessible, yet rich with meaning, these pieces use perception of space and unexpected materials to open a dialogue about pop culture and social norms. Images of select artworks are  here. 

BLOW UP was funded with a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
