The Fabrique des Lumières in Amsterdam

The Fabrique des Lumières is a new digital artwork centre in Amsterdam. Designed by the wonderful Culturespaces staff in the Westergasfabriek, an outdated gasoline plant in Amsterdam West (map), the Fabrique des Lumières presents readers a magical, immersive art encounter.

My 1st encounter with the work of Culturespaces was fewer than a 12 months ago. All through my Rhône River cruise in southern France, I frequented the Carrières de Lumières in an old stone quarry in the Provence. I was actually amazed with the impressive environment, the amazing pictures and tunes possibilities. So, when I uncovered out that the identical team was opening a new sister spot in Amsterdam in April 2022, I knew I had to see it!

The Westergasfabriek, with its 17-meter-higher partitions and large open space, is the ideal place for this immersive exhibition. The corridor was already in use for cultural exhibitions but this will now be the long-lasting dwelling of the Fabrique des Lumières.

Gustav Klimt

The initial Fabrique des Lumières exhibition functions the vivid and colourful is effective of Gustav Klimt and Friedensreich Hundertwasser, two of Austria’s most well-known artists. The 45-minute display soon started with uplifting new music and shifting visuals. The famous will work of Gustav Klimt filled the partitions and ground, a vivid burst of colour that was only enthralling.

The most famous is effective of Gustav Klimt have been from his ‘Golden Phase’. Inspired by the wealthy, golden mosaics in Ravenna, he used gold leaf to generate his intricate, mosaic-like styles.

Hundertwasser

The Gustav Klimt demonstrate lasted about 30 minutes, and was adopted by a shorter demonstrate featuring the brightly coloured functions of Hundertwasser. The Culturespaces staff have finished an superb occupation to showcase the is effective of these artists, and pairing the frequently evolving images with audio. The audiovisual outcome is unquestionably mesmerising!

There’s so substantially to see that it is challenging to know wherever to appear. My suggestion is to select a couple of spots throughout the exhibition and keep place for a although in every spot. In the back again of the corridor is a balcony which provides a panoramic look at of the corridor but I propose paying most of your time on the ground ground for a total immersive working experience.

Personally, I’m thrilled that Culturespaces selected Amsterdam to open up a new centre outside France! It certainly is a amazing addition to the assorted art scene in Amsterdam! Visit the Fabrique des Lumières internet site for additional data. Go through extra about factors to do in Amsterdam.
