Enter The Breathpod was an immersive breathwork, music and visual experience presented in FRAMELESS’ Blank Canvas Gallery.
Created by THEAJM, Stuart Sandeman and Nuage, the experience invited visitors into a guided breathing journey set to an evolving soundscape of ambient textures, electronic compositions and frequency-tuned tones.
Moving through light, sound and rhythm, participants were encouraged to slow down, reset and reach deeper states of calm, clarity and elevation within a fully immersive environment.
‘In Bloom: An Emotional Typography’ was an original collaboration by artist Cem Hasimi and DJ/producer Woody Cook.
Together, they transformed our Blank Canvas Gallery into a living emotional landscape, where immersive digital art and powerful music frequencies turned invisible feelings into breathtaking, tangible experiences.
Through dance, performance and digital art, ‘Bodies Unbound’ was a powerful immersive exhibition in collaboration with the Royal College of Art (RCA), which revealed how the body can express who we are, what we’ve overcome, and how we connect.
‘Right Before We Wake’, by artist Claire Luxton, sponsored by Adobe in association with MTArt Agency, transported visitors to a dreamlike world in an exploration of the precious moments between sleep and wake.
The exhibition invited visitors to experience Surrealism mirrored through a contemporary lens to consider what happens on the precipice of sleep.
‘Imagined Realities’, used the power of art to help navigate complex emotions. Janmejay Singh, Riya Mahajan, Ruby Bell and Vivian Li are the artists behind a captivating show that explored and celebrated the space between dreams and reality, traversing ancient worlds and futuristic landscapes.
The emotion-themed art, featured the creative input and imagination of London school children.
The term ‘Samsara’ derives from Indian philosophy about the flow of new life. The thought-provoking, three-part audio-visual experience featured three of the RCA’s best emerging talent, Olesea Bortniac, Shahwali Shayan and Tao Xie.
‘Samsara’ pushed the boundaries of creativity as the artists explored the concept of continuous transformation, the ongoing process of change and evolution in our fragile and beautiful world.
‘Illuminating the Arctic Night’ was the first showing from audio visual artist Lela Amparo. Utilising machine learning and generative practices, both the visual and audio components of the show captured the raw, and often unforgiving coldness that engulfs Scandinavia in the winter months.
Visitors could step into an ambient, Scandinavian digital winter, projected floor to ceiling across three screens in our Blank Canvas gallery.
Maliha Abidi is a Pakistani-American multidisciplinary artist and author living between London and Los Angeles. Born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, she migrated to California, United States at the age of 14. Her art focuses on advocating for social justice including women’s rights, girls’ education and mental health. Using bright and bold colours, Maliha hopes to get people interested in complex issues that impact our societies. “Come for the art, stay for the cause.” – Maliha Abidi.
‘Shifting Shadows: A New Horizon’ is the first showing of this new installation from acclaimed artist Maliha Abidi and is shown at FRAMELESS as part of an immersive display of some of her best-known works. Projected floor to ceiling across three screens the specially sound-scaped work takes its viewers on a boundary-breaking journey. The meticulously crafted animated masterpiece challenges prevailing norms for women in public realms, centred on realities observed from across Pakistan, South Asia and beyond.
Bristol-based digital artist Lewis Osborne is best known for his hypnotic, cartoonish animations. His work is showcased as a digital art experience transporting visitors into another world, inhabited by uncanny characters who interact with surreal, geometric environments, each inspired by the daily toils of life. At face value the work is fun, mesmerising and playful but take a closer look and you’ll see a wry wink and a nod to the bizarre mundanity of the day to day. One of Lewis’ signature works, ‘Chasing happiness’, shows a sad character trying to chase ‘happiness’ on an infinite staircase. ‘Drown out the thoughts’ shows the artist’s love for music and how it is used as a coping mechanism, depicting his colourful yet sarcastic style.
Cem Hasimi became the first contemporary artist to spotlight their art within FRAMELESS’ fifth ‘Blank Canvas’ gallery when his show opened on 4th August. His exhibition ran throughout August 2023 with a collection of his captivating works, featured on three floor-to-ceiling walls in a 20-minute show. With roots in Turkey and now based in London, Cem’s art is driven by his personal experiences, emotions and observations, aiming to inspire joy and ignite curiosity. Notably, his acclaimed piece “the Hole” made a significant impact as it was recently projected onto Times Square in collaboration with Artcrush Gallery.
