‘BlowUp Jubilee’ Celebrates Inflatable Public Art in the Center of The Hague

BlowUp Jubilee, the sixth edition of The Hague's BlowUp Art event, has opened in the Dutch city, featuring 20 inflatable public art installations curated by Mary Hessing. The exhibition takes place at Madurodam and other locations around The Hague, with works by returning artists including Steve Messam, Eugenie Boon, John Körmeling, Sigrid Calon, and Yamuna Forzani. The sculptures interact with historic monuments and buildings, playing with scale, color, and form—such as a giant pink chair that is actually small and a green passageway installation.

Giant inflatable artworks have taken over The Hague

A monthlong open-air exhibition called BlowUp Jubilee has taken over The Hague, featuring 24 giant inflatable artworks installed in parks, on buildings, and even in a train station. Highlights include a 7-meter-tall stew pot floating in front of the Mauritshuis museum, home to "Girl with a Pearl Earring," and works by artists such as Eugenie Boon, who created a piece inspired by Curaçaoan culture, and British artist Steve Messam, whose red spiked sculpture Crested sits atop a parking garage entrance. The exhibition is curated by Mary Hessing and runs until June 21.
