Viewing Ryoji Ikeda at 180 Studios, The Strand

This new immersive Ryoji Ikeda exhibition, the largest of the artist’s work ever staged, takes you on a sensory journey through 180 Studio’s labyrinthine spaces. Plunged into Ikeda’s dynamic digital universe, you’ll encounter 12 hypnotic artworks exploring light and sound, five of which are on display for the first time in the UK.

Highlights include never-seen-before installations such as point of no return, which creates a virtual experience likened to entering a black hole; and spectra III, a tunnel of strobe lighting that was first exhibited at the 2019 Venice Biennale.

After months of virtual viewing, this multi-sensory show is a timely reminder of how much more enriching (and exciting) art can be when encountered IRL. Just remember to book online in advance!
