About
ARTECHOUSE premieres a bioluminescent deep-ocean projection piece in the century-old boiler room under Chelsea Market, opening on the Saturday of this weekend.
Catching an ARTECHOUSE show on its opening weekend means seeing it before the queues and the feeds find it, and this one premieres on the Saturday. The science partner is Woods Hole, so the bioluminescence is modelled rather than invented, which is a different proposition from most projection-room spectacle. The venue is dark on Friday, making Saturday and Sunday the only two days available.
What to expect
Posted hours are 11 AM to 8 PM Saturday and Sunday with timed entry, and some Sunday slots were already sold out. Plan on roughly an hour, longer if you work through the XR activations. Listed prices carry fees and state tax on top.
