Inflatable Sculpture!

Balloon arcs, inflatable chairs, blow-up dolls ... why do inflatable things always get such a hard rap? 3rd Ward (195 Morgan Ave.; Brooklyn) is here to change all that tonight from 6 to 9pm. Listen to this:

3rd Ward presents Brooklyn's first exclusively air-filled art show:
Inflatable Sculpture! For this one-night exhibition, students from
3rd Ward's Inflatable Sculpture Class will fill 3,000 sq. ft. of
space with towering sculptures that by morning will fit into the
pocket of even your skinniest jeans.

Also, featuring the work of Instructor Patrick Flibotte, his former
students from University of Miami and Billie Grace Lynn.

Expect live music from DJ Tanner, complimentary drinks and a crash
course on how to make an inflatable sculpture of your own.

Kinda reminds me of Jeff Koons' larger-than-life balloon animals at the Met over the summer:

Awesome!
