Expected to open this year, with teamLab Massless Beijing a new location of the international art collective teamLab will come up on the top floor of the Chaoyang Joy City Mall in China’s capital Beijing. In typical teamLab fashion, visitors will be fascinated by numerous digital, interactive artworks on an area of around 10,000 square meters with eleven-metre-high walls. The new permanent exhibition will feature over 40 different large-scale teamLab installations that have no physical boundary between them and the viewer’s body, as the guests influence the dynamics of the work.
Art experiences include “Massless Clouds Between Sculpture and Life”, where visitors find themselves in an environment of floating, cloud-like masses, the never-before-installed work “Massless Suns and Dark Spheres”, which focuses on the play of light and shadow, or the “Floating in the Falling Universe of Flowers” installation (pictured), where guests enter a seemingly infinite space of flowers and blossoms. There are also digital learning and play opportunities for children, such as the “Athletics Forest” (see EAP 1/20).
On the same floor, the new museum U2 by UCCA, founded by UCAA Centre of Contemporary Art, will open as well, whose first exhibition will be “Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser”, a collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which will be dedicated to the story of “Alice in Wonderland” (published by Lewis Carroll in 1865) and its story from book to a global pop culture phenomenon.
