Guy uploaded the video of his project fully realized in Guangzhou at Cantocore: Import/Export. For Cantocore FOB, he made a video documenting the installation of this huge structure which you can view in full at Mission 17 right now.

If you want to talk with Guy more about this project, and the process of creating it, please attend the Cantocore FOB Artists Talk this Saturday, February 28 from 4-6 PM.

Thanks to Heather and Boing Boing for posting up about Guy’s cool piece. Also, thanks for the quote of my text

Here is the post:

Transmedia artist Guy Overfelt created this massive inflatable “smoke” installation for the Cantocore Export Guangzhou show in China a couple months ago. It follows the thread of Overfelt’s previous Inflatable Trans-AM. From the description of the piece, titled “Untitled” (Up in Smoke):

This time the inflatable Smoke is fabricated in Guangzhou, factory direct. Beyond Paul McCarthy-like reductive shapes coming off the assembly line or the Chinese Olympic team leaving the others’ in the dust, the simple shape raises questions about what these factories are pumping out in Guangzhou.

For all you needing images out there, we have just up pushed out images for David Johnson who will be exhibiting a work titled “Made in China” and Guy Overfelt who is getting some magic smoke fabricated.
