Exxopolis - Architects Of Air
Your favourite wonderland of light and colour is back in Melbourne.
Overview
In case you missed it at GLOW Winter Arts Festival last year, the enormous cavern of light that littered your Instagram feeds last year is back once more. This time it's migrated from the south side to the CBD, taking to the ACCA forecourt as part of the inaugural Summersalt Arts Festival. But trust us — it's still as great as ever.
At 53 metres long and nine metres high, this large-scale luminarium from UK artists Architects of Air is unlike anything you've seen before. This virtually-designed inflatable sculpture is a hideaway of nooks, crannies, paths and entrancing patterned domes takes its inspiration from Gothic cathedrals, Islamic architecture and unusual geometric structures and is sure to immediately put you in a walking daydream.
The artwork is open from 11am-8pm every day until Sunday, February 1, but you will need to pre-book your places ahead of time via the Summersalt website. Unfortunately session times are capped at a mere half hour so you'll have to control the urge to nap and/or claim it as your home.
