BLOW UP II: Inflatable Contemporary Art explores the medium of inflatable art with figurative, conceptual, and abstract imagery. These large-scale inflatable sculptures, conceived by nine artists and art collectives, connote fun and whimsy, are familiar yet strange, and challenge the definition of art. Here, in an unusual feat, artists use air as an active tool in their work to subvert our perspective and surprise us.

Holding our attention with wonderment and delight, BLOW UP II creates a spectacular, immersive environment that inspires deeper contemplation. By harnessing the power of air, the ideas and possibilities in art-making seem endless, and creativity takes flight.

Sensory Note: This exhibition includes multiple kinetic sculptures composed of high-powered fans that inflate fabric sculptures, causing them to move. The fans produce sound.

Room 108: The Clearing is a locally filmed movie set in a dual timeline of 1899/1900 and 1999/2000. Filming was originally inspired by a Wisconsin urban legend set at the Vic Theatre in Green Bay (now Confetti's) where a double murder and homicide occurred after opening night of a new Broadway play. When Freddy Moyano, director, co-writer and one of the actors of Room 108: The Clearing, read about the urban legend, it inspired him to create his own take on it for an independent movie.

The feature-length film will showcase some of the area’s history as told through a fictional story that uses time travel and supernatural elements to connect places in Green Bay that are 100 years apart. Over 200 actors, crew members, volunteers from NE Wisconsin to as far as Massachusetts have been involved in this production. Room 108: The Clearing contains elements of science fiction, thriller, and mystery movies and the film will premiere at 1 p.m. Aug. 27 during the MLC Awards at The Tarlton Theatre in Green Bay with cast and crew.

The objects displayed for this pop-up exhibition are on loan from Freddy Moyano and depict nine thematically important sections of the movie.
