Christmas market season is in full swing, meaning you’re probably no more than a few streets away from a mulled wine with rum and a bag of roasted chestnuts. So far so festive, but if you fancy something a bit different to the usual yule fare, the Ælysium Wintermarkt (until 31.12.2022) is definitely one for the weekend to-do list. Besides classic hearty snacks and hot grog, the market is hosting an outdoor exhibition of 3D works by renowned digital artists. It’s located at Oelgarten, the open-air part of Æve, a club space (formerly Chalet) that’s also showing 3D art as part of House of DiMotion. While you stroll round artisan stands and cozy up round the fire, you’ll be able to gaze at projections from artists and animators Nick denBoer, Alexy Préfontaine, Gavin Shapiro, Steven Baltay, Ruye and Marco Mori. The poppy, Instagram-friendly visuals will be accompanied by a music program that swaps standard Christmas music for a curated program of disco, house and jazz. Mulled wine and multimedia art: a Christmas combo we didn’t know we needed but are well and truly here for.
