A free immersive art exhibit by artist CJ Hendry has popped up at 50 Gold Street in Vinegar Hill, with a surreal maze of larger-than-life balloon sculptures that visitors are encouraged to climb on, bounce, and play! Entitled Keff Joons, the show draws inspiration from the work of Jeff Koons. Think part bouncy castle, part climbing structure, and a total selfie heaven! The experience is recommended for ages 10 and up only, as the balloon structure is very high and dangerous for young children. Keff Joons will be on view from Friday, April 11 through Sunday, April 20, open daily from 10am-5pm.
Australian artist CJ Hendry is a local Brooklyn mom and also the founder of the wildly popular Space Club play spaces, with locations in Greenpoint and Fort Greene. The next iteration of Space Club is coming soon to Vinegar Hill!
All guests must remove their shoes, and grip socks are provided free of charge. You must also sign a wavier before exploring the exhibition.
In addition to the giant maze of balloons, the show also features smaller sculptures and works on paper.
