PREMIUMDumbo art exhibit 'Keff Joons' features giant balloon jungle gym
Briefly

CJ Hendry's 'Keff Joons' exhibit, running from April 11 to April 20, presents a fun, interactive take on Jeff Koons's balloon sculptures. Located in DUMBO, the exhibit captivates tourists and locals alike, allowing them to engage with oversized inflatable balloon sculptures. Hendry humorously critiques and pays homage to Koons, creating a light-hearted atmosphere that emphasizes accessibility and engagement in art. The exhibit has garnered tremendous popularity on social media, reflecting its appeal across various age groups. Hendry's playful approach effectively balances irony and engagement, making art enjoyable for everyone.
While Jeff has transformed the balloon animal into an icon of art, I've cobbled together these balloon 'knots' that forgo structure and form and are totally ridiculous.
'Keff Joons' is my tongue-in-cheek nod at that balance between lightness and impermanence through the lens of Jeff Koons' incredible balloon sculptures.
