Landmark on Location: Art Under a Bridge

Putting the Earth in a "Tight Spot" for David Byrne

Ever tried to install a piece of inflatable art in an alleyway underneath a bridge? We did! Working with the Pace Gallery and David Byrne, we crafted a compressed-looking, 50-foot globe for the exhibit.

This type of installation required some preventative measures that would keep the inflatable and the historic landmark it was installed under intact.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked. We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

“[The inflatable arch] created a wonderful backdrop to brand our events, capture our sponsors in the photos used by the participants, and made it easy to travel down the coast of California without taking up too much space on our trucks.”

- Amy Daugherty, California Coast Classic

"We had the inflatable hockey player out in front of the coliseum and it caused such a crowd! Thanks for the professional job you and your company did for me!"
