Undersea Adventure of Balloon Manor


An annual project, 'Balloon Manor' began in February 2015 this year, and was on display in the Sibley Tower in Rochester, New York from February 27 to March 7. This year's theme was Under the Sea, and was a five-story-tall public art installation, using a whopping 40,000 balloons. Under the direction of artists Larry Moss and Kelly Cheatle, the project was finished with the help of 60 'twisters' in about four days. What is really impressive about this piece is that they make balloons look sharp and edgy like coral, or textured like wood. On March 8, people had the opportunity of purchasing tickets for the 'popping party.' What do you think?
