“Usually when you approach the art, it is something that, that you can watch but you can’t touch. One of our slogan is that: it is forbidden to don’t touch. Okay? You need to interact. And, what I like to let people understand is that we create something special: a huge, immersive experience in which children can play with art that is sometimes it’s not allowed to them to touch the art. And the parents and the adults can become younger again. They come back to their childhoods.”

“Each sphere has an organ, like in a church, where the wind from the fan that fills the sphere is making sound. It’s always playing live because the sequence, each form has a different loop. And so they’re always harmonising and changing one another’s sound.”

STORYLINE:
Paris’ Grand Palais unveiled Friday a new immersive exhibition which invites visitors to touch and feel the art on show.
“Usually when you approach the art, it is something that you can watch but you cannot touch,” explains Roberto Fantauzzi the founder of the Balloon Museum, which creates inflatable art events.
Here, however, he says, “it is forbidden not to touch."
For “The Me that Becomes Through You,” New York artist Alex Schweder collaborated with composer Nick Dunston to transform air into musical notes as it fills up large spheres contained in a cage.
“Each sphere has an organ, like in a church, where the wind from the fan that fills the sphere is making sound. It’s always playing live because the sequence, each form has a different loop. And so they’re always harmonising and changing one another’s sound,” Schweder says.
The exhibition, titled “Euphoria: Art is in the Air”, runs from June 6 to Sept. 7, 2025, at the Grand Palais.
The previous edition of the show in 2022 became the most successful exhibit of the year for Paris, attracting more than 700,000 visitors.
It means the Grand Palais should return with a bang after its 4-year renovation.
