This is the first permanent location for the show \u2014 they have a five-year lease; the concept launched in Italy in 2021 as an experimental showcase by a group called Lux Entertainment<\/a>. There are monumental site-specific works as well as inflatable

Marina Abramovi\u0107<\/p>\n

The 53,000-square-foot Tin Building, a two-story food emporium and restaurant destination created by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, closed in February<\/a> after four years at the Seaport. The museum has taken the entire space.<\/p>\n

The opening show at Balloon Museum, titled DAYDREAM \u2013 Air Becomes Art, will be anchored with a piece by performance artist Marina Abramovi\u0107 called Snowy\/Windy\/Spring on Planet Z. This is her first sustained exploration of light, air and environment as an immersive installation. Visitors will move through a field of shoulder-high inflatable grass and swirling artificial snow, immersed in a glowing white world \u2014 a wintery extraterrestrial meadow.<\/p>\n

There will also be installations by Turner Prize winner Martin Creed, who will fill a transparent room with hundreds of blue balloons; Alex Schweder, with a giant mirrored ball and fabric-covered lungs that rise and fall as it \u2018breathes\u2019; Thom Kubli, using compressed air to release soap bubbles that drift through the room.<\/p>\n
