The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), Miral, and the globally acclaimed art collective teamLab have revealed a significant milestone, announcing the completion of 70 percent of the development of teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi.
This groundbreaking 17,000 sqm art project promises a multi-sensory exploration of experiential artworks, marking a collaboration of art and technology.
The mega-project, strategically located in the Saadiyat Cultural District, has reached a key stage in its development, with the reinforced concrete structure now fully completed, alongside the construction of the innovative artwork spaces.
teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi aims to deliver an unprecedented art experience, showcasing large-scale immersive artworks.
Jonathan Brown, Chief Portfolio Officer of Miral, said: “Together with our partners, Miral’s vision for developing teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is to provide a captivating cultural journey that brings a new realm of educational exploration and creative discovery to the emirate. The curated, experiential space will add yet another outstanding experience to Miral’s portfolio of world-class experiences and attractions, appealing to visitors from across the globe.”
Toshiyuki Inoko, founder of teamLab, said: “A key characteristic of teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is the environment and the various phenomena created by it. The environment stabilises the structure of these phenomena, and the stabilised phenomena become the artworks themselves. In other words, unlike stones or man-made creations that can maintain a stable structure on their own, the artworks at teamLab Phenomena do not exist independently but are dependent on their environment.”
