The Fabrique des Lumières in Amsterdam

The Fabrique des Lumières is a new digital art centre in Amsterdam. Produced by the wonderful Culturespaces team in the Westergasfabriek, an previous gasoline plant in Amsterdam West (map), the Fabrique des Lumières provides visitors a magical, immersive art experience.

My very first practical experience with the function of Culturespaces was much less than a calendar year ago. All through my Rhône River cruise in southern France, I frequented the Carrières de Lumières in an aged stone quarry in the Provence. I was really impressed with the breathtaking placing, the amazing visuals and new music alternatives. So, when I uncovered out that the same crew was opening a new sister spot in Amsterdam in April 2022, I understood I experienced to see it!

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

Gustav Klimt

The 1st Fabrique des Lumières exhibition characteristics the vibrant and colourful performs of Gustav Klimt and Friedensreich Hundertwasser, two of Austria’s most renowned artists. The 45-moment clearly show quickly started out with uplifting new music and moving visuals. The well-known works of Gustav Klimt stuffed the walls and floor, a vivid burst of color that was merely enthralling.

The most well-known works of Gustav Klimt had been from his ‘Golden Phase’. Motivated by the loaded, golden mosaics in Ravenna, he utilised gold leaf to build his intricate, mosaic-like styles.

Hundertwasser

The Gustav Klimt exhibit lasted about 30 minutes, and was adopted by a shorter demonstrate showcasing the brightly coloured works of Hundertwasser. The Culturespaces team have carried out an outstanding job to showcase the will work of these artists, and pairing the constantly evolving photographs with tunes. The audiovisual impact is completely mesmerising!

There’s so substantially to see that it is challenging to know where by to appear. My suggestion is to choose a handful of spots all through the exhibition and stay place for a when in every location. In the again of the corridor is a balcony which gives a panoramic perspective of the corridor but I advocate paying most of your time on the ground floor for a full immersive knowledge.

Personally, I’m thrilled that Culturespaces chose Amsterdam to open a new centre exterior France! It genuinely is a wonderful addition to the diverse art scene in Amsterdam! Go to the Fabrique des Lumières web site for much more facts. Examine much more about things to do in Amsterdam.
