We are opening back up our art center for a special ONE-DAY event. Hall des Lumières connects history, culture, and innovation to bring you the most captivating immersive art experience. Glowing, animated images of historic artworks are seamlessly united with music and landmark architecture. The inaugural exhibition Gustav Klimt: Gold in Motion is based on the glittering, sensuous, revolutionary paintings of this key originator of modern art.

GUSTAV KLIMT, GOLD IN MOTION:
In the unparalleled cultural and intellectual ferment of late 19th century Vienna, an imperial capital whose atmosphere has been characterized as “a nervous splendor,” Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) began his career as one of the painters decorating the sumptuous public buildings on the city’s grandest boulevard, the Ringstrasse. As the new century dawned, however, Klimt began daring to express himself in a more personal and often erotic style, ultimately becoming the leader of the Vienna Secession, a movement that broke from the conventions of academic art and paved the way toward modern painting. Gustav Klimt: Gold in Motion takes its title from the gold leaf and decorative patterns that characterize his most popular and radical masterpieces, including symbolic works such as The Kiss (1907-08) and portraits such as Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907).

HUNDERTWASSER:
Created by Gianfranco Iannuzzi, Renato Gatto and Massimiliano Siccardi with the support of the Hundertwasser Foundation, the exhibition Hundertwasser, in the Wake of the Vienna Secession immerses visitors in the work of painter and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928 – 2000), who carried forward the spirit of the Vienna Secession several decades after its heyday, in an artistic revival of the revolution instigated by Klimt.
5 MOVEMENTS:
5 Movements is a 10-minute immersive audiovisual experience created by the interdisciplinary art, design, and technology studio Nohlab. Using motion capture tools, Nohlab recorded 5 different performers conducting different types of body motion, matched to five musical movements. Nohlab then created beautiful abstract effects that seem generated by the dancers themselves, blending in a poetic choreography of motion. The result is a highly personal experience of the displacement of bodies in space and time, conveying the emotion and essence of motion in three dimensions.
RECODING ENTROPIA:
Designed exclusively for Culturespaces, Recoding Entropia is an immersive film experience by François Vautier, reflecting on the vastness of the mind’s possibilities. The viewer is plunged into an unfathomable void with boundless horizons, where motionless forms jolt violently to life in an evolutionary process that at first seems beyond comprehension, yet opens into a bewitching drama.
