For the Let’s Fly exhibition, Michael Shaw created an architecturally bespoke response: Lava Lamp, a monumental, inflatable and colorful sculpture.
With this title, the artist refers to the lamp invented in 1963, a vertical glass globe containing a transparent liquid in which colored balls of melted wax circulate. Michael Shaw’s sculpture is inspired by the colors, shapes, and movement of the lamp, which became a Pop reference in the 1990s. Like a sleeping creature, the inflatable gives the strange impression of breathing in and out. Indeed, its fans are constantly activated, blowing air cyclically into the structure.
Measuring more than 44m in length, the artwork wraps itself around the space, overflowing at both ends. This psychedelic snake is composed of repeating violet, lilac, and pink stripes. A pattern of colors that accentuates its curvilinear course around the building. Thanks to its immensity and extravagance, Michael Shaw’s sculpture is a striking installation to behold.
