Deets: This spring, acclaimed artist Cj Hendry is launching her latest art exhibition “Keff Joons,” inspired by Jeff Koons and his iconic animal balloons. With her notorious sense of humor, play, and juxtaposition, Hendry’s adaptation of ‘balloons’ aims to challenge perceptions of space and volume through this ubiquitous object. As always, Hendry’s signature exhibition style encourages visitors to interact and play with their surroundings and to explore how movement, placement, and material transform the spaces around them, both physical and internal.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Keff Joons is open to the public at no cost, the exhibition includes large interactive sculptures, original drawings, lenticular editions, and a selection of merchandise for sale.

Balloons are so simple, yet they carry this enormous emotional weight—joy, nostalgia, fragility. I love that they float
so effortlessly, but at any moment, they can pop. Keff Joons is my tongue-in-cheek nod at that balance between
lightness and impermanence through the lens of Jeff Koons’ incredible balloon sculptures. While Jeff has
transformed the balloon animal into an icon of art, I’ve cobbled together these balloon “knots” that forgo structure
and form and are totally ridiculous. I’m leaving the real art to the professionals!
