Immersive Art Hub Illusionaries Presents Entheon Exhibition Featuring Alex and Allyson Grey's Visionary Works
Over a year ago, Illusionaries, an experiential art center located in Canary Wharf, London, unveiled its third exhibition titled Entheon: A Sanctuary of Visionary Art. This showcase features creations by American artists Alex and Allyson Grey, including vibrant projections and installations such as Steeple Head, a four-meter tall 3D sculpture. Visitors can explore mirrored corridors that evoke Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirror Rooms. The exhibition is supported by ticket sales ranging from £20 to £30 for 40-minute visits, promoting social media engagement. The Sacred Mirrors series by the Greys is exhibited at their Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in Upstate New York. Despite the popularity of immersive galleries like Frameless, their financial sustainability remains questionable, as evidenced by Lighthouse Immersive's bankruptcy in August 2022.
