Inflatable Sculpture Dreamspace Kills Two and Injures 12 |

Maurice Agis, Dreamspace.
|
LONDON, ENGLAND.- A gust of wind blew an inflatable art exhibit from its moorings at a British park Sunday, killing two people and injuring 12, police said to the Associated Press. Maurice Agis has dedicated his artistic life to creating space and light experiences. His latest work, Dreamspace, turned into tragedy on Sunday.
Dreamspace is an inflatable, brightly colored walk-in sculpture created by English artist Maurice Agis. This huge installation made of 106 different plastic cells, all joined together to create an entire body of color, forms an interactive experience for all those who enter it. Blues, reds, grays and greens undulate and meld together under the play of light, creating waves of ever-changing color that infuse the area. The entire structure is supported by currents of air that flow through the sculpture, encouraging a living, breathing effect. Agis is a sculptor, but a sculptor of air and space, and has managed to capture these ephemeral elements with his work.
The entire sculpture covers 2000m² and is totally cut-off from the outside world. There are no corridors, just unfolding space with forest-like columns dividing the different cells, through which air and music flow. Contemporary composer Stephen Montague has collaborated with Agis creating Bright Interiors, a soundtrack of 16 loops that endlessly repeat and interact, as the light and color interacts within the space. Montague has taken sounds from natural sources and reworked them on computer, combining nature and technology to fill space as Agis has used light and colored plastic.
"Space is not something you contemplate, it is something you experience. Time is not something you experience, it is something you contemplate." A space experience is arriving in Bologna. An opportunity to enter into an enclosed world of color and light, imbued with music and creativity, and escape from the hum-drum pattern of our lives. This experience is open to all; no prejudices accepted, no degree required, simply immerse yourself in Dreamspace and let the sensations take over.
