In the Summer of 2011, Artist Martin Creed filled the sea-facing gallery with hundreds of white 100% latex balloons. Not a good place if you have a latex allergy! I walked around it for the experience. I expected it to be claustrophobic - it wasn't to me. The smell of rubber was immense. The assistant tagged you as you went in, in case they lost you! The way the balloons move readily from you is oddly liberating. There was a degree of static charge. The loose hair accumulating on the balloons was a bit icky...
