teamLab Borderless, Japan’s first digital art museum, is moving to a new permanent location in Azabudai Hills, a large-scale new real estate complex in central Tokyo.
Scheduled to launch in February 2024, the new venue is more modern and will include new art pieces along with enhanced former favourites. Witness ‘Microcosmoses’ with multiple areas of hundreds of lights along tracks and the 'Light Sculptures' installation, comprising lights of varying colours and 3D shapes.
There will be a lot to immerse yourself in, promises Takashi Kudo, teamLab's communications director and one of the art collective's founding members. ‘Bubble Universe’ with countless spheres comprising lights of varying colours and shapes in 3D, and ‘Megalith Crystal Formation’ where blooming flowers and clashing waves represent the cycle of growth and decay, and essentially, rebirth.
Similar to what we’ve seen from teamLab in the past, but further evolved, the new venue’s artworks will transition between rooms and intermingle with other works, forming “one borderless world”.
This modern tech-driven ‘museum’ blends a gallery and a theme park, eschewing maps and descriptions. At teamLab Borderless, guests can be spectators, analysts, artists and visual interpreters. It provides the freedom of being part of a collective forming art, where each individual’s perception is important.
This will be even more evident at the new location, at the heart of Tokyo, Kudo hints. teamLab Borderless at Azabudai Hills will continue to examine how digital art can reshape the world and tackle arising issues. The works will delve further into the idea of a ‘world without boundaries,’ as well as the overflowing themes of art, space, nature and identity.
