Just found out that there is another immersive art centre in Europe, this time in Amsterdam. Culturespaces has created the ‘Fabrique des Lumières’ which opened in April in the former gas plant of Westergasfabriek.
As we know from the Carrieres des Lumieres at Les Baux, it’s a successful formula. For instance since opening in Paris in 2018, the Atelier des Lumières has attracted more than three million visitors to experience digitised works of art created by artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt, and Salvador Dalí.
The Westergasfabriek was built in 1885 by the Imperial Continental Gas Association, before being converted in 1993 into a cultural space. Located in Westerpark, ten minutes from the historic city centre, the Fabrique des Lumières has a surface area of 2,800m² and their shows will be designed to complement the unique architecture of the site with its seventeen-metre-high walls.
The current show is Klimt (30 mins) + Hundertwasser (15 mins), until 5 Feb 2023.
