Wonderspaces exhibit Elsewhere aims to challenge reality in Scottsdale

Posted

Wonderspaces at Scottsdale Fashion Square will host a new immersive art show called Elsewhere, running through March of next year.

The new show presents 13 interactive and participatory art installations from artists around the world, according to a press release.

Timed with the Halloween season, the Wonderspaces bar area is also selling a seasonal “Red Rum” specialty cocktail --- a mixture of signature syrup, light rum and ginger beer topped with a float of grenadine --- for those 21 years of age and older.

The artists of Elsewhere prompt visitors to question their reality, a release states. The dynamic curation of art installations rewrites the laws that govern the physical world and human interactions with it, offering glimpses into what other realities may be possible.

Because each installation relies on an individual’s sensory perceptions, the impression every piece elicits can be as unique as each visitor.

“This is a completely new, interactive and moving art experience,” Jason Shin, co-founder and president of Wonderspaces, said in a prepared statement. “Elsewhere features scenes from our everyday world, and then tilts them in a way that challenges your perceptions.”

Wordspaces is on the lower level of the Scottsdale Fashion Square, 7014 E. Camelback Road, near the food court.

Tickets for Elsewhere are released by time slot and require arrival within the designated 15-minute entry window. Tickets are available at the box office and advance tickets can also be purchased online.

Based in California, Wonderspaces launched in 2016 to bridge the gap between artists and new audiences.

With each show, Wonderspaces hopes to create a place where people can connect with art and with each other while delivering on its mission to create shared artistic experiences.

After its launch in San Diego, Wonderspaces established its first permanent location at Scottsdale Fashion Square in spring 2019. An installation is planned in Philadelphia for winter 2019 and in Austin in spring 2020.
