COMING SOON
An Art Exhibition in the Complete Darkness to Activate our Brain
4 - 9 June, 2024
The exhibition is uniquely set in a completely dark environment with no source of light. Each visitor will be given a torch to navigate the space, turning away from the overstimulating “white wall” gallery setup and eliminating distractions. This setup ensures visitors focus on one artwork at a time, enhancing their ability to "pay" more attention. Research indicates that people tend to be more relaxed, less self-conscious, and more creative in the dark.
In a world increasingly filled with highly stimulating media, it can be challenging to slow down and focus on a single task.
A study found a 123% increase in ADHD prevalence among adults in the United States between 2007 and 2016.
This exhibition aims to
create an environment where visitors can
slow down,
be present,
and focus
on one artwork at a time!
