Pop Air till 31 Aug at MBS with 17 new interactive works
The world's largest event on air and inflatable installations has arrived in Singapore with 17 new interactive works by leading artists. From 7 Jun to 31 Aug, the Balloon Museum presents Pop Air – Art is Inflatable at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre Hall F. An adult (above 18 years old) and a child (4 to 12 years old) ticket will set you back by S$45 and S$35 respectively from Mon to Fri. An adult (above 18 years old) and a child (4 to 12 years old) ticket will cost S$60 and S$45 respectively on the weekend. Check out these highlights. Hypercosmo represents the heart of the Pop Air exhibition. The Hyperstudio collective takes us to a new macrocosm, a re-imagining of a natural environment in which the upper and lower parts are in direct communication and involve what is at the centre of it all: man. Projections, sounds and different elements accompany the experience: the sky, the sea and the earth merge until they mingle for the spectacle of the cycle of life. The viewer is invited to immerse and be lulled by a natural environment, becoming an integral part of the piece. Committed to creating interactive artworks that engage the senses and strengthen ties with the public, ENESS created an original work called Spiritus Sonata for Pop Air. 'Spiritus' can be translated into 'breath' or 'crucial breath,' and 'Sonata' as 'musical composition'. Evoking the magical ambience of early childhood discoveries, Spiritus Sonata envelops us, provoking surprise and tenderness. With its charming aesthetic, these wind instruments utilise air to inflate their structures. This enables sounds to be created from the nasal extensions. The layers of sound overlap, surrounding visitors in a vibratory continuum. Soft Hurricane by Quiet Ensemble is an installation that transports the audience into a world of wonder and interaction. In this piece of art, invisible tornadoes orchestrate an ensemble of balloons that dance in the air, propelled and captured by the force of the wind. The balloons float individually and come together in synchronised dances as pairs. They sometimes repel each other as if animated by mysterious yet tangible forces. This artwork is inspired by the natural element of air and comprises spherical balloons that float vertically. These are driven by air coming from hidden fans placed beneath each balloon. i Light Singapore 2025 returns from 29 May to 21 Jun with 17 new installations The post Pop Air till 31 Aug at MBS with 17 new interactive works appeared first on
