ES DEVLIN, TEAMLAB, AND JAMES TURRELL TO INAUGURATE SUPERBLUE'S PREMIERE EXPERIENTIAL ART CENTER IN MIAMI
Every Wall is a Door
Es Devlin, teamLab, and James Turrell will bring dynamic, large-scale installations to the Superblue experiential art center Superblue Miami in Florida, with the opening exhibition Every Wall is a Door.
Superblue is a groundbreaking new enterprise dedicated to producing, presenting, and engaging audiences with experiential art. Its inaugural program features the debut of a new immersive environment by Es Devlin, a transcendent world created by teamLab, and an enveloping light-based work from James Turrell’s iconic Ganzfeld series, all on long-term view.
teamLab: Between Life and Non-Life Bringing together new and recent projects by teamLab in one, all-encompassing experience, this suite of interconnected artworks takes audiences on an exploration of the ambiguity between living and nonliving states of being, and the relationship between humanity and the natural world. The installation is the culmination of the collaborative practice of teamLab, an interdisciplinary collective of artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects that aims to transcend boundaries of perception, demonstrate the continuity of time, and explore the relationship between the self and the world. Many works shift according to audience interactions within them and with surrounding works, resulting in one-time-only visual effects that can never be replicated. This approach casts visitors and their relationships to one another as integral to the ultimate form of the work – underscoring their collective presence as a positive means of creation and serving as a metaphor for the integrated systems of nature itself, where distinctive parts interact to become a unified whole.

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective, an interdisciplinary group of various specialists such as artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians and architects whose collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world.
teamLab aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world and new perceptions through art. In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perception of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity of life.
teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Asia Society Museum, New York; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Amos Rex, Helsinki.
