Picture this: you’re swimming in a sea of balls in an industrial dark room — it’s not what you’re thinking, nor is it scary. The darkness is so thick that you can’t even really gauge how large the room truly is. Music pours into the room, and the deep bass thrums through the sea of plastic balls. A massive disco ball starts spinning in the center of the room, reflecting the light from red and blue orbs and smaller mirror balls dripping from the ceiling, which is coated in black balloons. It’s both sensory deprivation and over-stimulation in harmony.
That is just a taste of the Balloon Museum’s “Let’s Fly – Art Has No Limits” exhibition at Dallas’ South Side Studios, which spans 65,000 square feet and showcases work from 18 international artists.
“Founded in Rome in 2021, Balloon Museum is a pioneering art space dedicated to showcasing inflatable and air-based contemporary installations that merge creativity, technology and sensory exploration,” a press release states. “Recognized as a global phenomenon, the Balloon Museum has welcomed more than 7 million visitors to exhibitions featuring renowned international artists.”
