Balloon Chain
Robert Bose, better known as “the balloon guy,” has become a staple at the Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival with his Balloon Chain installations. They look simple, but they stretch thousands of feet in length, float hundreds of feet above concertgoers, and require their handler to control them in windy conditions, preventing them from becoming tangled with structures, including the monumental artworks installed around the festival grounds. The chains are interactive: Everybody is welcome to take a turn holding one end of the line (which is actually clipped to a handler in case it slips from someone’s hands).

Peggy Noland
Peggy Noland is an artist based in Kansas City and Los Angeles. Using clothing as her medium and large scale replicas of familiar objects, Peggy creates content-driven clothing, retail concept shops and site-specific pop art installations. She opened a retail storefront in KC in 2006 and a second location in LA in 2011. The concept shops evolved into an Oldenburg-like retail installation that responds to consumer culture by exaggerating trends – most recently creating puffy paint plays on brands and logos. An avant-garde sense of humor is a strong current in Noland’s work; absorbing the world around her and then reflecting it back through the mirror of a distorted funhouse.
