Houston loves immersive experiences. The city is home to all sorts of large-scale, mixed-media venues ranging from Meow Wolf’s wonderful and weird new Radio Tave to ARTECHOUSE’s dreamlike digital studio, Space Explorers out-of-this-world exhibit, and more.
This December, Space City has go a brand new experience for art lovers and club-goers, alike. Following its past Solar Dust exhibition, Art Club is now open at POST Houston. As the name suggests, Art Club is an immersive experience part museum, part nightclub; the space features 13 separate artworks from renowned artists across the world.
“Art Club is a transformer; in museum mode, viewers witness the rapid evolution of entertainment technology and its aesthetic possibilities,” the event website reads. “In club mode, invited talent operates our exhibits like an instrument of music.”
The 13 exhibit rooms at Art Club in Houston include the following:
- Nervescape: neon-lit sculptures of fur representing neural networks
- Mimic.2: Audio-visual piece in which lasers against an LED wall create stunning geometric patterns
- Wavespace: Cymatic light patterns under low frequency sounds
- A Separate Reality: AI-animated Houston street art
- Polynode: Cycles: Portrays the connection of sound and circular movement
- Layers: innovative “proto-holographic” installation
- Bar 6 1/2: Bar in the venue’s Club Room
- Revolution is an Abstraction: deconstruction of Soviet iconography
- Encaged: ethereal structures created from laser beams confined in a cage
- WET: LAND: diagram of an artificial wetland under grow lights
- Aesthetics of Decay (2023): installation of fabrics in a closed loop of creation and destruction.
- The Day We Left Field: dreamscape depiction of a greenspace imbued with multicolored laser beams
- RING: Kosmologia: laser beams perceived as sunbursts of color
- MUAH: State of No Self: The exhibition’s crown jewel, an infinity room that expresses the impermanence of all things.
The 13 individual exhibits are now open at POST Houston. The venue is also currently hosting its popular holiday-themed Winter Wonderlawn.
