Washington show (The concept of the exhibition. Public art. Pop Art.)
Dedication Otto Piene
Location: National Mall* in Washington D.C. (USA)
In the National Mall in Washington D.C. (USA) there are huge
inflatable sculptures.
Sculptures are made of transparent polyethylene pipes. Sculptures are identical
to figures from colored balls (dogs, mice, flowers), which are usually made on
holidays for children from long balloons, twisting them in a special way.
The sculpture is fed with colored smoke at a temperature higher than the ambient
temperature.
Thus, wind moves the sculptures and they become alive. Smoke inside the pipes
turn sculptures into ghosts.
It"s beautiful and magical, like the Sky art of Otto Pine.
* The National Mall is a landscaped park within the National Mall and Memorial
Parks, an official unit of the United States National Park System. It is located
near the downtown area of Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United
States.
