In Japan, teamLab is set to unveil its biggest museum yet in Kyoto

In Japan, teamLab Biovortex Kyoto – art collective teamLab’s permanent art museum – is set to open in Minami-ku, Kyoto, as part of the Kyoto Station Southeast Area Project on Oct 7.

This museum, located within walking distance of Kyoto Station, will be teamLab’s largest exhibition in Japan, spanning over 10,000sq m.

The museum will feature more than 50 artworks, including Massless Amorphous Sculpture, an artwork that has never been exhibited in Japan, based on Environmental Phenomena, a concept that the environment which produces the various phenomena causes the artworks to exist.

Other artworks include the newly unveiled Megaliths, Transient Abstract Life and Return, as well as Athletics Forest, a complex, multi-dimensional creative athletic space, and Future Park, a collaborative space for co-creation, which are both part of teamLab’s educational projects.

This project, a collaboration with several companies based in Kyoto and Osaka, involves establishing and operating a facility on city-owned land in the southeastern area of Kyoto Station.

The complex aims to be a “creative hub for generating and disseminating new value,” with plans including a complex cultural facility featuring teamLab’s art museum and an art center, among other attractions.

Through this project, teamLab aims to support Kyoto City’s vision for urban development in the Kyoto Station Southeast Area, centred around culture, art, and youth.
