Paris, France — It is clearly one of the most fun exhibitions of the summer in Paris. This is inflatable and interactive art at its best, quietly reaching into the depths of the newly restored Grand Palais in Paris with its roof of glass.  Visitors can literally become lost in a maze of balloon-themed installation spaces created by leading contemporary artists. The exhibition of 20 monumental works is the brainchild of the Rome-based company Lux Entertainement —the creator of the hugely successful Balloon Museum — and has been aptly named Euphoria. It is regarded as the world’s largest event dedicated to inflatable art and this sensory exhibition literally transforms the lofty, majestic spaces of the Grand Palais into an artistic and playful romp.  Audience participation is at the heart of the project as visitors become an integral part of the experience by interacting directly with the exhibitions. Lux Entertainment teams collaborated with Valentino Catricalà, one of the exhibition’s curators, to conceive the show.

 “In today’s contemporary landscape, inflatable art is an innovative language that breaks down the boundaries between entertainment, design, and architecture. With Euphoria, we explore new artistic directions and offer the public a reflection on today’s society,”  commented curator Valentino Catricalà. 

Born in Italy in 2021, the Balloon Museum has become an internationally renowned traveling project and a global success that has brought together over 60 artists across 3 continents through its four exhibitions including EmotionAir now on view at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco and Let’s Fly, which is winding up in Los Angeles before heading into the historic Hotel Rio in Las Vegas.  The exhibition is a major highlight of the GrandPalaisRMN 2025 program and is part of the Grand Palais Summer program of three dedicated spaces. The balloon exhibition is on in Paris through September 7th. Special to The Gourmet Gazette.
