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.

關於 teamLab
teamLab是自2001年起開始活動的藝術團隊。通過團隊創作來探索藝術、科學、技術和自然界交匯點的國際性跨域藝術團隊。由藝術家、程式設計師、工程師、CG動畫師、數學家和建築師等各個領域的專家組成。
teamLab想通過藝術，摸索人與世界的關係和新的認知。人類爲了更好地認知世界，習慣性地把世界分割，並將其視爲具有邊界的事物。我們探索認知的邊界，並試圖超越人類對世界、對時間連續性的邊界的認知。世間萬物都是奇跡般地存在於積年累月且沒有邊界的連續性上的。
teamLab在紐約、倫敦、巴黎、新加坡、矽谷、北京、墨爾本等世界各地舉辦了藝術展。teamLab所開設的大型常設美術館有位於東京台場的「teamLab Borderless」、位於東京豐洲的「teamLab Planets」、位於上海黃浦濱江的「teamLab 無界上海」、位於澳門的「澳門 teamLab 超自然空間」，位於北京的「teamLab無相藝術空間」等等。今後還將有更多的美術館落地在漢堡、烏得勒支、吉達等地。
teamLab的作品被世界各大藝術機構收藏，如墨爾本維多利亞國家美術館（墨爾本）、悉尼新南威爾士州美術館（悉尼）、阿德萊德南澳大利亞藝術畫廊（阿德萊德）、赫爾辛基阿莫斯·雷克斯美術館（赫爾辛基）、舊金山亞洲藝術博物館（舊金山）、洛杉磯現代美術館（洛杉磯）、伊斯坦堡Borusan當代藝術收藏館（伊斯坦堡）、紐約亞洲協會博物館（紐約）。
