Open Art Exhibition 2018

The Open Art Project: An Interactive 3d Gallery Improving Access to Art

“The Open Art project is a chance for emerging artists to be part of a new virtual exhibition – free to enter, free to share, open to all."
The 2018 Open Art virtual exhibition will be taking place in the Sea of Tranquility – on the moon!
Imagine a gallery with walls carved out of white lunar rock and a view of planet Earth in the skies above.
Virtual exhibitions give artists an opportunity to share their work worldwide and in a unique and visually stunning setting. Artists will also be showcased as part of several real-world gallery exhibitions in Autumn 2018 (in the UK and beyond)
You can find out more about the development of this virtual exhibition and follow the project as it progresses – see the Story of Development here.

Story of Development: Open Art 2018

Creating a virtual space is a work of art in itself. The Open Art exhibition will be taking place in a fictional (and improbable) gallery on the Moon.
There is no need to worry about engineering, costs or logistics with a virtual gallery space, so why not shoot for the stars!
After deciding the location for exhibition, we look for images and designs that might inspire the style of the gallery. The gallery will be within a lunar base, set inside a mountainous crater. Some of the inspiration from the base and its landscape has been taken from the images shown here.
Earth – This is a chance to have a unique perspective and to see our planet from a distance.
Inca landscaping – The stepped amphitheatres and settlements built by the Incas in South America give a clue how humans might shape the ground around a lunar base.
Futursitic Architecture – Within the moon base there are a few human structures, one of which is inspired by this real building on Earth.
Alien Geometry – Although crop circles aren’t actually made by aliens (?) they have a very interesting geometric arrangement, using spirals and circles. The layout of our lunar base is inspired by these designs.

Keep watching the sky!

We will be sharing images and videos of the virtual gallery before its full release in October.

Open Art 2017 - One of the world's first open interactive exhibitions (if not the first)

Last year, the 2017 Open Art exhibition included over 100 pieces of artwork by 72 artists – with a virtual gallery set inside an underground train station. Twelve of these artists were invited to display their work in a gallery show in London.

Curat10n design & produce interactive art exhibitions & 3D gallery visualisations

Curat10n is creating a mini-revolution in exhibition visualization and access to art. We develop interactive and immersive arts applications using 3D technology – because every artist, curator & gallery should have the opportunity to show and share their work. without limiting their creative vision. Art-lovers and collectors around the world should be given the chance to see a diverse selection of artworks in an interactive and inspiring virtual space.
Whether you are part of a gallery that wants to visualize and plan their next exhibition. Whether you are an artist, collective or curator looking for a cost-effective way to promote and exhibit your artwork. Whether you are looking for a way to present artwork and integrate a virtual gallery with an online store in order to make sales. Or whether you want to create a unique immersive arts experience as part of a cutting-edge exhibition…we can do that for you. All options are on the table – if you can imagine it, then we can make it a (virtual) reality.
