Group Exhibition
The Sun and the Moon: Art Inspired by the Celestial
We are honored to be part of this group exhibition at Saatchi Gallery in London.
For teamLab, the exhibition held at this gallery in 2015 holds profound significance. The exhibition, featuring artworks such as Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders , became the origin that led to teamLab Borderless.
This time we will exhibit artworks from our “Cognitive Sculpture” series, which appear only in the human world of perception.The materials are light and the environment; and the subject of its creation is the viewer's own body and perception.
The spheres cannot exist on their own - its existence is a phenomenon created in relation to its environment. The phenomenon created by the environment is shaped for the first time by the dynamic body and perception of the viewer, becoming a sculpture in their cognitive world.
The boundaries of the artwork are ambiguous, and its existence is inseparably continuous with the environment and perception.

关于 teamLab
teamLab是自2001年起开始活动的艺术团队。通过团队创作来探索艺术、科学、技术和自然界交汇点的国际性跨域艺术团队。由艺术家、程序员、工程师、CG动画师、数学家和建筑师等各个领域的专家组成。
teamLab想通过艺术，摸索人与世界的关系和新的认知。人类为了更好地认知世界，习惯性地把世界分割，并将其视为具有边界的事物。我们探索认知的边界，并试图超越人类对世界、对时间连续性的边界的认知。世间万物都是奇迹般地存在于积年累月且没有边界的连续性上的。
teamLab在纽约、伦敦、巴黎、新加坡、硅谷、北京、墨尔本等世界各地举办了艺术展。teamLab所开设的大型常设美术馆有位于东京台场的“teamLab Borderless”、位于东京丰洲的“teamLab Planets”、位于上海黄浦滨江的“teamLab 无界上海”、位于澳门的“澳门 teamLab 超自然空间”，位于北京的“teamLab无相艺术空间”等等。今后还将有更多的美术馆落地在汉堡、乌得勒支、吉达等地。
teamLab的作品被世界各大艺术机构收藏，如墨尔本维多利亚国家美术馆（墨尔本）、悉尼新南威尔士州美术馆（悉尼）、阿德莱德南澳大利亚艺术画廊（阿德莱德）、赫尔辛基阿莫斯·雷克斯美术馆（赫尔辛基）、旧金山亚洲艺术博物馆（旧金山）、洛杉矶现代美术馆（洛杉矶）、伊斯坦布尔Borusan当代艺术收藏馆（伊斯坦布尔）、纽约亚洲协会博物馆（纽约）。
