Creating Frothy Worlds

The space surrounding the event is a physical, tactile, nutrient rich experience created by an inflatable ecosystem. The pinatas have created microcosms based on interactions between inert and living matter and social relationships. The ecosystem might be a series of aggregated parts or a series of nested and interlocking volumes and cavities Focusing on liquids and membranes as the primary materials, new forms are produced that bulges, contracts, throbs, gushes, sprays and ranges in attitude from hyper to content that might create crystallization and other provocative atmospheres.

Pop-up gallery opening on Saturday, July 16th, 2016 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.

An exploration of large scale sensual atmospheres and environments where bodies, spaces,

furniture and plants all contribute to new primal worlds. The work explores the body as it relates to its environment as one of the most ostracized interactions within contemporary architectural work when directly addressing human pleasure. The explorations capitalize on the various ways in which the body engages with its surroundings and pushes to the extreme of how it fits into the world, forcing the bodily and the constructed world to interact in much more dirty, messy and sensual ways. The projects work through inflatables and engages with oversized turgid and bodily forms. Eight teams have been asked to be simultaneously technical and sensual to create engineering marvels and fantasy experiences.
