Not all inflatables are made the same. Our customers come to us when they want something that hasn't been created before. Diesel wanted us to not only make an inflatable but incorporate it into their runway for the models. With the amount of engineering and design, the only trusted Bigger Than Life to get the project done.
Headspace is on a mission to improve the health and happiness of America, one city at a time. So, for their first event they brought the best talent together to create an inflatable structure that could visually embody their positive energy.
At the north entrance of the Frieze Projects New York Art Fair towered Alex Da Corte's piece "Free Money". The piece references a large parade float from Tim Burton’s film Batman (1989) and also pays tribute a 1993 Philipe Parreno work, inspired by the same film. The obvious challenge was getting the gigantic baby that was 40 ft. long and 16 ft. tall to float safely above a festival visited by thousands of people. However, we were up to the task and the baby was a huge hit and a talk of the town featured in multiple art publications.
The Mobile Museum, referred to by the acronym MuMo, is a traveling museum of contemporary art, aimed at directly reaching children aged 6 to 12, especially those geographically or socially remote from access to culture. We worked with them to create an inflatable sculpture by Mexican artist Gabriel RICO entitled "The God of Honey" which did an amazing job at capturing children's imagination and hopefully fostering a newfound love of art.
We worked with artist collective FriendsWithYou on a colorful experience created with the intention of transcending the viewer to an enhanced state of happiness and self-healing. The installation was a physical manifestation of the Rainbow Spectrum- transforming ideas and emotion into a colorful, translucent, toy-like inflatable world that colorizes the environment and its participants. We created dozens of pieces for the Art Basel installation that lit up at night so the installation could be experienced well into the evening.
Soup Flavored Blankets is a collective of Burning Man veterans who simply wanted to serve soup and keep people warm as part of their art installation during the event. They came to us to create a custom inflatable soup can beacon which would draw people from near and far to get something warm to eat and enjoy each other's company.
Aïda Ruilova's show, The Pink Palace, opened at Marlborough Chelsea and a focal point of the gallery was the giant black inflatable heart we helped create. The artist found a Rocky poster made in Poland that had a graphic of a pair of conjoined boxing gloves to make a heart. The gloves were a gorgeous red, but for this show she felt the black version made sense. The black version abstracts the shape of the gloves so you're not exactly sure what you're looking at until you see the sculpture dead on.
