The Aesthetics Technologies Lab presents a hands-on workshop with sculptor and musician Addi Somekh from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday at 227 Putnam Hall.
Somekh has traveled more than 30 countries from the Sahara desert to the Mongolian mountains to the forests of the Amazon creating art from inflatable forms such as balloons. As an inventor, Somekh has extended his balloon craft into the world of music, adapting a Sean Rooney balloon model into what he calls the balloon bass -- an electronically amplified bass instrument constructed from three simple balloons. Additionally, he's taken the concept a step further developing a range of percussive balloon drums.
The workshop will teach the basics of balloon twisting for sculptural shapes, objects and music. The workshop is free but space is limited, so interested participants must RSVP. Visit www.ohiou.edu/atlab/ for more information.
