Tokyo will soon be home to an ambitious new complex of skyscrapers, offices and public spaces known as Azabudai Hills. Described by its developers as a “Modern Urban Village”, the art world hasn’t wasted any time to inaugurate the forthcoming site. Following an exhibition by Olafur Eliasson and a new permanent gallery by Pace, teamLab will also bring its immersive installations to Azabudai Hills.
The collective of artists, designers, engineers and mathematicians plans to bring its popular Borderless program from its location in Odaiba to the MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM at Tokyo’s new Azabudai Hills. With this change, teamLab will present new artworks, including a towering series dubbed the Light Sculpture — Flow, along with an installation called Microcosmoses – Wobbling Light. In the latter, visitors will encounter a sea of lights, similar to one of Yayoi Kusama‘s Infinity Rooms, but done so in a way that the orbs continously run across the space as opposed to remaining static.
“We’re working on the new Light Sculpture artworks right now, and it’s incredible,” noted teamLab founder, Toshiyuki Inoko, in a statement. “I have no idea what’s going on in the space. I was sucked into the universe, and became one with it.” The space opens on February 9, but preview the works on view in the gallery above.
