The Fabrique des Lumières in Amsterdam

The Fabrique des Lumières is a new electronic art centre in Amsterdam. Made by the great Culturespaces crew in the Westergasfabriek, an old fuel plant in Amsterdam West (map), the Fabrique des Lumières gives people a magical, immersive artwork working experience.

My first encounter with the work of Culturespaces was a lot less than a calendar year in the past. All through my Rhône River cruise in southern France, I visited the Carrières de Lumières in an aged stone quarry in the Provence. I was truly impressed with the breathtaking setting, the spectacular photographs and audio alternatives. So, when I located out that the very same team was opening a new sister site in Amsterdam in April 2022, I knew I experienced to see it!

The Westergasfabriek, with its 17-meter-high partitions and significant open space, is the fantastic locale for this immersive exhibition. The hall was now in use for cultural exhibitions but this will now be the everlasting residence of the Fabrique des Lumières.

Gustav Klimt

The first Fabrique des Lumières exhibition attributes the vivid and colourful will work of Gustav Klimt and Friedensreich Hundertwasser, two of Austria’s most popular artists. The 45-minute demonstrate quickly started out with uplifting songs and going illustrations or photos. The popular works of Gustav Klimt crammed the partitions and ground, a vivid burst of colour that was simply enthralling.

The most well-known works of Gustav Klimt have been from his ‘Golden Phase’. Impressed by the prosperous, golden mosaics in Ravenna, he applied gold leaf to produce his intricate, mosaic-like styles.

Hundertwasser

The Gustav Klimt exhibit lasted about 30 minutes, and was adopted by a shorter display that includes the brightly colored is effective of Hundertwasser. The Culturespaces staff have completed an outstanding position to showcase the is effective of these artists, and pairing the continuously evolving photos with songs. The audiovisual influence is totally mesmerising!

There is so considerably to see that it’s difficult to know the place to seem. My recommendation is to decide a few places all over the exhibition and stay put for a while in each place. In the again of the corridor is a balcony which supplies a panoramic view of the hall but I advocate investing most of your time on the floor ground for a whole immersive practical experience.

Personally, I’m thrilled that Culturespaces chose Amsterdam to open a new centre exterior France! It truly is a amazing addition to the assorted art scene in Amsterdam! Take a look at the Fabrique des Lumières web site for much more details. Read additional about factors to do in Amsterdam.
