It seems that a humble childhood pastime is the latest art craze sweeping London. Sam Heath, aka SamSam Bubbleman, is a self-proclaimed bubbleologist, who can do just about anything with a bit of soapy water, two sticks and a length of rope. He will soon be seen wowing crowds at the Big Chill Festival and will return to his London base in September to perform at the Thames Festival.
Bubble blowing is becoming increasingly popular in arts circles and Heath claims that that his bubble company, Bubble Inc, has had to employ their first full-time member of staff. In other places too, the art of blowing bubbles is attracting attention with at least three participants of Antony Gormley’s One & Other project have been seen to be blowing bubble on the fourth plinth.
