'World’s First' In-Club Art Gallery Launches With Works by Beeple, Mad Dog Jones
The world’s top-ranked nightclub has opened what its owners say is the first permanent art gallery inside a club, as part of an effort to blend nightlife with digital art.
Hï Ibiza, named the world’s best club by DJ Mag for four consecutive years, unveiled the gallery this summer along with Ibiza-based nightlife group The Night League and London digital art collective W1 Curates. The exhibition mixes digital and physical works, interactive installations, and custom-built display technology.
“From cinematic design to surreal architecture and cyberpunk storytelling, the gallery presents a curated selection of today’s most influential digital artists,” the organizers said in a statement.
The Hï Ibiza digital art installation is part of a broader push to bring digital and NFT art into physical venues. Bright Moments opened an NFT gallery in Venice, California, in 2021, and Web3 NYC Gallery followed in 2022 with a Genesis NFT exhibition in New York.
The space opens with a mural by British graffiti artist Mr Cenz at the club’s entrance. Visitors can scan the mural with the W1 Curates smartphone app to reveal an augmented-reality animation. Inside, works include two sculptures by British graphic designer and album cover artist KidEight—known for collaborations with Gucci Mane, Fabolous, 2 Chainz, and French Montana—and a six-foot green gummy bear by American street artist WhIsBe.
Other featured artists include Annibale Siconolfi, Ash Thorp, Beeple, Mad Dog Jones, Six N. Five, and Shiro. The lineup will rotate every two weeks during the summer season.
W1 Curates designed the main gallery space to adapt to each artist’s color palette, using large-scale projections and immersive lighting.
The gallery launch will include talks by W1 Curates, Seedphrase, Farokh—president and co-founder of Decrypt’s parent company DASTAN, Bitcoin historian and artist Smashtoshi, and artist Trevor Jones, followed by a DJ set in the Wild Corner.
The exhibition features “cutting-edge digital artists alongside additional physical works,encouraging guests to explore, pause and connect with the art beyond the dancefloor,” the organizers said.
