Join Max Adrian, the artist behind "RIPSTOP," and HCCC Curator + Exhibitions Director Sarah Darro for an intimate tour of Adrian’s motion-activated inflatable sculptures. These monumentally-scaled, handsewn pieces transport viewers into a realm of artifice, desire, and utopian worldbuilding. This talk will delve into Adrian’s wide ranging creative influences, from queer fiber art and game theory, to camp horror films and puppetry, as well as his background working in a commercial mascot shop. The tour will also address the historic connections between inflatable design and utopianism.
