Tech-driven art group to open solo exhibition

Following a successful Shanghai debut at the Tank Shanghai museum earlier this year, TeamLab, a group from Japan that combines digital technology with immersive art experiences, will open its own exhibition space in Shanghai.

TeamLab Borderless Shanghai, a new exhibition space on the west bank of the Huangpu River, will open to the public on Nov 5. The 6,600-square-meter space will showcase more than 50 projects by the group.

According to Wang Dong, general manager of Shanghai BES Chengtay Culture Technology, the investor and operator of TeamLab Borderless Shanghai, the new exhibition center will be a long-term project and aims to become a tourist destination that is as popular as Shanghai's Disneyland.

Wang added that TeamLab Borderless Shanghai is the first major project by Shanghai BES Chengtay.

"Our company is focused on the cooperation, investment and operation of top international intellectual property, and will explore a broad market for cultivating new Chinese art forms," he says.

Two exhibition rooms were opened to members of the media during a recent preview.
