On Sunday, the last day of exhibition "
Musée Los Angeles," Jason Rhoade's
Blue Room and Love Seat was inflated. Inside the steel truck, which can be turned into a love seat with a blue tarp pad, is a blue tarp room attached to a leaf blower. The leaf blower turns the room into an asphyxiation chamber, complete with viewing window (a face-sized piece of clear plastic the artist sewed into the blue tarp).
The endless blue and curved corners experienced from within the Blue Room evoke a great calm. There are even vent details added by the artist to the exhaust hose on the inside of the chamber. Although attractive in its passive form, the Blue Room and Love Seat is at its most generous when it takes on its active, inflated form.
