Shih Chieh Huang Balloon animals invade Exploratorium, spur LSD flashbacks in new 'Inflatable' exhibit
7x7 May 30, 2018
As fanciful, kaleidoscopic, and highly Instagrammable immersive experiences continue to trend, museums are upping the ante on just how kooky and chromatic their exhibitions can get.
The latest to lay its cards on the table is the Exploratorium, where a flickering forest of luminous balloon organisms has been planted for the magical new exhibit, Inflatable: Expanding Works of Art.
Curated by Christopher Jobson, founder and EIC of the culture blog Colossal, Inflatable is an escape into an alternate reality, at the intersection of art and science, where your childhood curiosities bubble up and persuade you to rethink what forms art and nature can take.
