A playful, family-friendly exhibition of 21 inflatable works, among them a 10-foot tall White Elephant, two giant, smiling red bunnies, towering superheroes, and a 17-foot long Trans Am replica of the 1977 Smokey and the Bandit car. The structures connote fun and whimsy, and challenge our everyday, feet-on-the-ground perspective.
