LUX: A New Wave in Contemporary Art

A mesmerising exhibition at The Strand London

LUX: New Wave of Contemporary Art
13 October 2021 – 20 February 2022

The combined forces of art and technology truly come into fruition with LUX’s utterly immersive experience taking place in the subterranean spaces of the Strand. The Korean collective SUUM successfully manage to present the endless scope for purely digital art forms that transgress our physical boundaries through an all-encompassing anthropomorphic curatorial experience. Whether it was through virtual waves crashing at our feet or the all-digital but rather ghost-like corporeal choir, there were visually striking works round every corner!

This show offers a wealth of commissions from the likes of Es Devlin, Hito Steyerl and Julian Knxx alongside the UK premiere of ‘Renaissance Generative Dreams’ by Refik Anadol, and incredible works by Carsten Nicolai, a’strict, Cao Yuxi, Cecilia Bengolea and Universal Everything.
