team Lab Borderless Jeddah, a collaborative initiative between the Saudi Ministry of Culture and art collective team Lab, is set to open in Jeddah Historic District on June 10, 2024.
team Lab Borderless is a world of artworks without boundaries, a museum without a map created by team Lab. Leading up to the opening, team Lab is working on numerous large-scale artworks, and has now unveiled the massive creative athletic space, Athletics Forest, alongside the co-creative educational project, Future Park.
Situated in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jeddah Historic District, the team Lab Borderless Jeddah project is one of the Quality of Life Programme’s initiatives to develop and foster cultural and arts exhibition infrastructure, aiming to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s contribution to arts and culture, one of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals.
“Humans perceive the world with their bodies and think with their bodies. When you explore a complex, three-dimensional world with your own body, you physically perceive the world three-dimensionally and in turn your thoughts become three-dimensional. We started this project, Athletics Forest, with the hopes to enhance three-dimensional and higher-dimensional thinking. Spatial awareness is said to be correlated with innovation and creativity. I grew up in a rural area and played in the mountains, but in today’s society and schools, the body is stationary. I think cities are surrounded too much by flat in formation such as books, TV, and smart phone screens. That is why we created a three-dimensional space that excessively demands the physical body. It is a space where people can perceive art with their physical bodies.”
-team Lab Founder, Toshiyuki Inoko
The tickets for the museum are now available on the official website.
