This past Thursday, Cj Hendry invited guests to celebrate the opening of her latest exhibition, Keff Joons. Now open in NYC’s Dumbo neighborhood through April 20, the presentation is a playful nod to Jeff Koons’ iconic balloon sculptures, the show features 50 oversized, chaotic “balloon knot” installations that invite visitors to interact with while exploring themes of joy, nostalgia and impermanence.

True to her immersive style, Hendry transforms the space into a whimsical playground, blending humor and scale. “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,” said Hendry in a statement.

Editions and merchandise are also on offer. All original works have already sold out, but fans can still grab one of ten limited edition prints (100 of each) and a cheeky line of apparel, including t-shirts, caps, balloon kits, enamel pins, magnets, coloring books and silk scarves.
