Larry Moss Biography

Larry Moss is one of the most popular and richest Performance Artist who was born on September 25, 1970 in New York, New York, United States. Lawrence “Larry” Charles Moss (born September 25, 1970) is an American artist, author and educator who works mainly with latex balloons. He is renowned, in the field of large-scale balloon sculpture as art installation, for creating technically and aesthetically challenging sculptures which often incorporate literary, art and pop culture references. In March 2015, The Washington Post ran a profile on Moss which identified him as “the best balloon artist in the world.”

In July 2003, Moss orchestrated the creation of the “Fantastic Flying Octopus” – an impressive, air-bound balloon sculpture that was piloted by John Ninomiya. A 23-member balloon artist team, an eight-member flight crew and hundreds of community members helped build and launch the first-ever, piloted, latex balloon sculpture (which took five days and 700 man hours to complete). Nearly 20,000 twisting balloons were assembled by artists from around the U.S. and Canada to create the “Fantastic Flying Octopus,” with several thousands of people showing up to observe construction and the eventual launch of the cluster balloon craft, in Sodus Bay, NY. It was powered solely by wind and 10,000 cubic feet (280 m) of helium.

In 2005, Moss launched Airigami, LLC, through which he conceives and constructs creative content made entirely of balloons. Projects range from life-sized, individual sculptures to record-breaking, on-site installations for use at national and international museums (i.e., The Strong National Museum of Play, Virginia Museum of Natural History, Rochester Museum and Science Center), art galleries (i.e., Phelps Arts Center), trade shows and more.

His work has been recognized by The Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, CNN Headline News, PBS, Smithsonian magazine, Cabinet, The Guardian and The Huffington Post. In addition, Moss has appeared on programs like The Martha Stewart Show and NBC’s Today show. He has also performed at the White House on multiple occasions. Moss presented at TEDx Rochester in both 2009 (“Building Community through Balloon Sculpture”) and 2014 (“Living in a Bubble”) and has authored several published books about ballooning.

In 2000, Moss and Sorell were commissioned to create a world-record-sized balloon sculpture in Moi, Belgium. They designed and depicted a scene showing two soccer players kicking a ball into a goal. At the time, the sculpture was the largest non-round balloon sculpture in the world. It was constructed of more than 40,750 inflated latex balloons. The installation was built without framing, line or glue and relied only on traditional balloon twisting methods. Forty-two additional crew members and more than 640 man-hours were required to construct the sculptural piece, which stood 25 feet (7.6 m) tall and was roughly 80 feet (24 m) wide. Each of the latex soccer players stood an unprecedented 40 feet (12 m) tall.

Moss grew up in Queens, NY, and studied music at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School (as featured in the movie “Fame”). He began entertaining publicly in 1985, as a New York City street performer, after learning to juggle and perform magic tricks. He has since developed a reputation for elevating the art of balloon sculpture to new and unexpected heights, earning favorable reviews from audiences and critics worldwide and displaying installations in more than a dozen countries on four continents.

In 1992, Moss started an email discussion list for balloon twisters. In 1994, those listings were archived online and visual content was added, marking the official launch of BalloonHQ.com. As internet usage exploded in the late 1990s, nearly every serious balloon artist joined the BalloonHQ Community. This prompted Moss, its founder, to partner with Sheena Beaverson and Mark Balzer, who helped administer the site. Site discussions led to the first balloon twisting convention (T-Jam 1999), the first international balloon art photo contest and the free dissemination of balloon art ideas and designs. Today, in addition to sustaining an important industry dialogue, BalloonHQ calls attention to key industry events and provides members with access to customizable portfolios and specialized educational materials. On an annual basis, Moss communicates with and advises an estimated 500,000 site visitors.

Beginning in 2004, Moss shifted his focus to “Balloon Manor” – a haunted house made entirely of latex balloons. Moss organized and led a design team of professional balloon artists and community volunteers to build, promote and run the functional, Halloween-themed balloon installation. Each life-sized structure required more than 100,000 balloons and 50 crew members to build. “Balloon Manor” attracted 10,000-plus visitors annually through 2008 before being put on hold.
