Take a look inside the world’s first in-club art gallery at Hï Ibiza

This summer, for the first time ever, White Isle superclub Hï Ibiza played host to a full-scale art gallery. Calling it an ”industry first”, this ambitious project was brought to life by the team behind the venue, The Night League, alongside London’s digital art group W1 Curates, making it the world’s first in-club art exhibition, and an innovative way to advance Hï’s history as an interdisciplinary music and art space.

Transforming the mammoth club into a wide-ranging gallery displaying sculptures, interactive pieces, digital works, physical installations, and much more, W1 Curates bring together some of “the world’s most exciting artists” in a “boundary-pushing” experience. Using a custom-built app, club attendees can explore the expansive gallery, and bring pieces to life using augmented reality technology.

"Creating the first designated in-club art gallery at Hï Ibiza has been a bold, forward thinking project, combining artistic curation, technological innovation, and cultural ambition," says Mark Dale, CEO of W1 Curates. "The result is a revolutionary space where music, art, and technology merge, leaving a lasting mark on both the art world and nightlife culture."

Step inside the immersive exhibition and you’ll be greeted by a futuristic, graffiti mural from Mr Cenz, whose recognisable work has lined streets worldwide for over three decades. Meanwhile, sculptures throughout the exhibition include two original pieces by KidEight, who has previously created cover art for the likes of Gucci Mane and 2Chainz, while a six-foot green gummy bear sculpture created by WhIsBe towers over the Tipi Garden. 

Elsewhere, a gallery “centrepiece” is displayed on Hï Ibiza’s rooftop terrace using custom-engineered LED technology, and a mirrored ceiling to extend the immersive effect of the exhibition. Here, guests can experience pieces from “influential digital artists” including Annibale Siconolfi, Ash Thorp, Beeple, Mad Dog Jones, Six N. Five, Shiro, and many more, with a curated selection of pieces also available for purchase.

"The club environment is experiential, with music, lights, and energy shaping the atmosphere," says Mark Dale. "The app enables augmented reality (AR) experiences, animating Mr Cenz’s graffiti-style mural at the club’s entrance. This interactivity transformed a static artwork into dynamic, immersive experiences, making it more engaging for clubgoers who might not typically interact with art. The app also added a layer of immersion that syncs with the club’s high-energy vibe, making the art feel like an integral part of the nightlife experience rather than a separate entity."

"I hope clubbers will leave with a heightened sense of cultural engagement, feeling like they’ve participated in something groundbreaking - a nightlife experience that transcends the dancefloor and merges art, technology, and music into a memorable cultural moment," he adds.
