POP AIR: THE INCREDIBLE BALLOON MUSEUM EXHIBITION IN MILAN

Posted by: Editorial Team

There are not a just few artists of the modern era who, fascinated by the intangibility and lightness of air, have drawn inspiration from balloons for artworks that have become famous. From the forerunner Marcel Duchamp, to Piero Manzoni who dared the “Art- ist’s Breath” well before his famous “Artist’s Shit,” to Bansky with his babe who seems to fly away from the ugliness of the world, to Jeff Koons with his dogs made from linear (albeit metal) balloons. Today the examples are multiplying thanks to the recent Ballon Museum that has been able to create a fantasy world with the dimension of dreams and the emotion of art. Using air as the main element enclosed in intangible bubbles that can even fly. Putting together a playful and metaphysical version of contemporary art that enchants adults and children at the same time. The installations of the incredible Balloon Museum unite, in an imaginative journey, out-of-scale inflatable sculptures, indefinable works between real and digital, hybrids of nature and technology, stimulat- ing curiosity and inviting experience.
   Pop Air is the site-specific exhibition that arrives at Superstudio Più after the Paris and Rome editions whose success was the impetus for continuing to spread this incredible exhibition around the world. Many international artists are involved in Milan with their works. Eness’ Airship Orchestra between light and music, Rub Kandy’s Gin- jos, Max Streicher’s Silenus with the sleeping giant. Cyril Lancelin with Knot, Geraldo Zamproni with Volatile Structure, challenge the limits of space with objects of large- scale. Hyperstudio, presents Hypercosmo, and Quiet Ensemble brings A Quiet Storm, a multimedia performance. Karina Smigla-Bobinski, inspiring neuroscience discoveries about the self-configuration of the brain, is present with the unprecedented interactive installation Polyheadra. And so on...
  The exhibition, thanks to partner and supplier Gemar®, a balloon and party company, pays great attention to the impact on the envi- ronment and is a BEA Best Event Awards nominee.
