森ビル株式会社とチームラボは共同で、お台場・パレットタウンに本格的デジタルアートミュージアム「MORI Building DIGITAL ART  MUSEUM: teamLab Borderless」を、2018年夏に開業します。

施設面積10,000平方メートルという圧倒的なスケール感と、多様な空間構成が特徴で、チームラボによる東京初の常設展示であり、フラッグシップ施設となります。

名称にも採用した”Borderless”という言葉には、「作品と作品」「作品と鑑賞者」「自己と他者」の境界をなくし、鑑賞者も作品の一部となって溶け込んでいくという想いが込められており、本施設を通じて既存の価値観や社会的枠組みを考え直すきっかけを提供してまいります。

森ビルは、世界の人々を惹きつける磁力ある都市を実現するためには「文化・芸術」が不可欠であると考え、都市の中に文化施設を組み込み、様々な文化・交流活動を促進してきました。

チームラボは、テクノロジーとクリエイティブの境界が曖昧になりつつある現代において、「実験と革新」をテーマに、これまでの常識を大きく超えるようなデジタルアート作品を提供してきました。

今般、森ビルとチームラボがタッグを組むことで、世界に類の無い、新たなデスティネーションを創出し、2020年そしてその先に向けて、国際都市・東京の磁力向上に貢献してまいります。

Mori Building and teamLab to launch “MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM: teamLab Borderless” in Odaiba, Tokyo this summer
— Groundbreaking museum expected to become thought-provoking tourism destination —

Tokyo, January, 29 — Mori Building, a leading urban developer in Tokyo, and the art collective teamLab today announced that they will jointly open “MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM: teamLab Borderless,” a full-scale digital art museum in the Palette Town complex of Odaiba, Tokyo in the summer of 2018. The all-new museum concept is a collaborative initiative between Mori Building, a noted supporter of culture and art, and teamLab, an interdisciplinary creative group that utilizes the digital technologies to express art.

The museum, teamLab’s first permanent exhibition and flagship facility in Tokyo, will boast a massive 10,000 square meters of labyrinthine floor space. The word “Borderless” expresses the museum’s aim to tear down the borders between “one art and another,” “art and visitors” and “oneself and others” by allowing visitors to melt into the art and become part of it. Mori Building and teamLab hope that their groundbreaking museum will inspire people to create enlightened new values and innovative new social frameworks.

Mori Building actively works to integrate art in cities, including by staging important cultural activities. In the view of the company, cities vitally need culture and art to expand their magnetic power to attract creative people and enterprises from throughout the world.

teamLab aims to explore a new relationship between humans and the world through art. The collective’s collaborative practice seeks to liberate art from physical constrictions and transcend boundaries in contemporary society, where the border between technologies and creativity is coming fuzzy.

Through their collaboration, Mori Building and teamLab aim to create a unique destination that enhances the magnetic power of Tokyo toward 2020 and beyond.
