[Nov 8-12] Judy Dunaway- Chamber Ensemble

“Chamber Ensemble” is a participatory sculptural sonic environment utilizing round ready-made latex balloons of various sizes. A giant balloon guides visitors to make sounds with typical toy balloons, to which it responds and reacts. Occasional interlopers send a helium balloon up a deadly tunnel that transforms into an immersive experience. All the while, a large illuminated translucent balloon provides abstract 3-dimensional commentary on the sounds and activities.
