sculptor staying with me - related work

This sculptor Sean Derry is coming down to do a piece for Art in Action and he is staying with us for a weekend while he does some research. I just read a description of his work he did for The Scuplture Center:

Sean Derry creates a site-specific installation for The Sculpture Center based on experimental environmental interactions using helium, balloons, water, and electronic speakers and microphones. The installation is derived from his outdoor experimental flight of a tethered large red balloon in the sky and the use of recording devices in an effort to “hear the clouds”. Derry brings the results of his experiment into the gallery in order for the viewer to witness and listen to the results. Environmental sounds play throughout the run of the exhibition.

if anyone wants to meet him let me know - it may be good to see images of this piece or what else he's done. for Art in Action, I think he wants to install one of his giant inflatable cars in an abandoned parking lot.- Courtney
