Winter is coming to Wembley Park in style this year, as London’s most exciting new neighbourhood announces a plethora of free seasonal activities, events and offers from Saturday 2nd December 2023.
The headline attraction is The Luminaze – a brand new reflective, light-based, maze-like, walkthrough art installation from Emergency Exit Arts (EEA) that will wow visitors of all ages. Free to enter from 2nd December 2023 until 2nd January 2024, The Luminaze will be located off the iconic Olympic Way, atop the stunning floor mural at Samovar Space (by Brighton-based artist Lois O’Hara), with the Wembley Stadium arch as the perfect backdrop.
The Luminaze will use energy-efficient neon lighting to create bespoke scenes including a living room, stars, and trees, along with motivational messages. Four artists have explored the themes of belonging and migration to create the neon murals, with the result that visitors are invited to think about what home means and how our planet is the ultimate home. The idea of ‘one world’ and ‘one people’, and how we are all connected, will shine out beneath the starry sky of Wembley Park.
Visitors who reach the centre of the maze will discover a stunning, four-metre-tall sculpture, The Hourglass, with new show “We Love This Place” created by artists at EEA and light wizards, Illuminos. It features internal projection mapping, programmed to deliver narratives through animations, audio and stories. The interactive display will showcase a new animation, suitable for all ages and created specifically for Wembley Park, which will explore the theme of place and home and invite audiences to think about what they love about their community.
“EEA are experts in using creativity and spectacle to enhance places and bring people together. We are delighted to bring the world premiere of The Luminaze to Wembley Park for people to enjoy. The Luminaze is our new, immersive light installation, inviting visitors to explore what they love about their place and ultimately what home means to them.”
Daniel Bernstein, CEO, Emergency Exit Arts
