Inflatable Sculpture Performance
On the Edge of the Cosmic Sea
+ Nicole Banowetz + Devin Reilly
On the Edge of the Cosmic Sea is a series of roaming inflatable sea creatures that come to life as glowing wearable sculptures. Inspired by tide pool ecosystems and deep-sea organisms, the performance includes larger-than-life puppets such as the Parchment Worm, the Copepod, and the Sea Slug.
Artists Nicole Banowetz and Devin Reilly return to BIFA this year to activate the Arts District Campus with a special presentation of some of their most iconic otherworldly inflatable sculptures. These sprawling sculptures will appear and disappear across the campus with a variety of pop-up performances and roaming creatures. The artists will also create a completely new series of alien plants inspired by imagined future adaptations. These new sculptures will be completely constructed from reclaimed tents during their summer residency at Breck Create.
