LONDON.- Marco Brambilla's monumental new work, Heaven's Gate, will be on view for the first time in Europe at Outernet London, the largest digital exhibition space on the continent beginning January 22nd and running until February 26th. The exhibition will take place in The Now Building, a state-of-the-art immersive space featuring 23,000 square feet of floor-to-ceiling, 360-degree, 16K screens across four stories. 

Heaven's Gate, the latest in Brambilla's Megaplex series, presents the spectacle of the Hollywood dream factory as a panoramic video collage, in which viewers ascend through psychedelic landscapes of looping samples of iconic moments in cinematic history. The work both celebrates and satirizes pop culture, immersing the viewer in a hyper-saturation of imagery that is almost impossible to sustain.

"I was initially approached to show this work in the space, which led to my curating the Arts program," said Brambilla. "I was able to invite artists whose work I admire to show new works in this exciting recently launched space. I'm thrilled to be presenting 'Heaven's Gate' in a context which will embrace the spectacle intrinsic to the concept of the work and now also in its presentation."

Outernet Arts is dedicated to uniting an international network of established and emerging artists through commissions that investigate the complex concept of the media space. Through artist-led projects, the organization aims to prompt larger conversations around our lives in a world dominated by the digital era.

The opening is on Sunday, January 22, 2023, 12 pm-6 pm at The Now Building.
The exhibition will be open every Sunday, 12 pm-6 pm, until February 26th.
