Late Hours FLV LAB

HALL, GROTTO AND TERRACES (LEVELS -1, 0, 2)

Each year, the FLV Lab, a digital workshop focusing on cultural mediation, invites students to design and build prototypes of innovative digital projects. This year, embark on a Fondation-wide game and travel through the inspirations of Frank Gehry to solve the puzzles and riddles at different stops along the way, where the students await you.

HALL 

Secure your place in the adventure by going through our first boarding challenge!

Grab your passport and follow in the footsteps of Frank Gehry, the genius architect behind the Fondation’s design. The challenges awaiting you there give you freedom to wander at your own pace, discovering what you don’t always see at first glance. As you go, collect the stamps rewarding your passage at the different stages. Come back and see us before leaving to create a unique souvenir of this experience!

LEVEL 2

Dive into a marine world in which the works of Adrián Villar Rojas meet those of Ólafur Elíasson.

Take up the challenge and find the objects that escaped from Where the Slaves Live while exploring this landscape. Together, use the spyglass and skilfully manipulate the mirror to discover the treasures hidden on the islands. Pay close attention to the mirror’s tilt, as it will reveal valuable maritime coordinates. With collaboration and observation, earn stamps in your passport and advance boldly in this interactive adventure!

Non-stop, available at no charge in the stores

Explore the building and its construction from behind the scenes on the Architectural Tour, enjoy a 360-degree experience of our content from the terraces, enhance your visit with content on the work of artist Lu Yang in Gallery 8 (Open Space #14) and try an inspiring tour for a dreamy, contemplative getaway. This introspective journey developed with help from a meditation specialist is a chance to use all your senses to discover the building and its iconic works in a fresh, new way.

In the Auditorium, wearing your virtual reality headset, you become a giant looking down on the Fondation from the sky and then, shrinking back to your real size, you are transported high up to the top of the Fondation’s glass sails to see the building and its construction from another point of view.

GALLERY 8 

Chinese artist Lu Yang presents DOKU The Flow in Gallery 8, as part of the Open Space programme dedicated to contemporary creation.

Lu Yang has a multidisciplinary practice and particularly favours the use of advanced digital technologies and wide-ranging collaborations, including designers, composers, psychologists, dancers, engineers and scientists, through which he creates virtual worlds that unfold in immersive video installations. His fantastic imaginary realm, one with postapocalyptic overtones, is born of a syncretism in which Japanese popular culture – video games, manga, anime, pop music – dovetails with Buddhist spirituality, transhumanist theories and neuroscientific research. The artist brings to life hybrid creatures that transcend identity concepts of gender, sex and nationality to better understand what it means to be human in the 21st century.

For Open Space #14, Lu Yang’s first solo exhibition in a French cultural institution, he designed a unique video installation centred on his new film DOKU The Flow, the second chapter of the “DOKU” series. DOKU, a virtual character whose name is inspired by the Japanese phrase ‘’Dokusho Dokushi,’’ meaning “We are born alone, and we die alone,” is designed from the digitisation of the artist’s own body. In this film, we can follow the adventures of this avatar of many faces, through which Lu Yang transcends the limits of the physical body to explore digital reincarnation.

HALL

The eco-committed GOGO GREEN DJ and artists collective plays bright and eclectic sets in its promotion of more sustainable ways to party.
