Let's bounce: Malaysian artist squeezes 10 'sky dancers' into a small art gallery

It is possible that chi too’s latest solo exhibition might get a few noise complaints from the neighbours. The Back Room gallery in Kuala Lumpur is a small space, but the contemporary artist is squeezing 10 tube men (and himself, because he wants to sell his new zine) into this room.

These tube men - also known as "sky dancers" - are commonly placed outside car dealerships to catch the attention of drivers.
