Psychedelic Robot first arrived in Dallas in 2018, during a time when pop-up museums were becoming the rage (and chagrin) of the art world. Before the Sweet Tooth Hotel and Museum of Illusions, Bivins Gallery conceptualized an explosive pop-up with colorful walls and an interactive design, where you don’t observe but rather enter the artist’s creation.
Psychedelic Robot immediately became a hot spot for influencers, aspiring influencers and regular people who just wanted a fun photo of themselves, and its backdrops flooded Instagram. Visitors posted about wandering through its maze and playing with the art that jutted from walls, ceilings and floors.
