South by Southwest has indeed grown so much from its beginnings in 1987. Evidence of that is its upcoming exhibition of five art installations under the new SXSW Art Program, which launches in March, during the conglomerate’s music and film festivals and conferences for this year.
Both budding and known artists will take part in the program. Among them is Los Angeles-based artist Refik Anadol, whose work titled “Infinity Room” will be showcased. The work is made up of a space that transforms a beholder’s view of reality into a “three-dimensional space of visualization.”

Speaking of the new program, SXSW chief programming officer Hugh Forrest said, “Art and Design [have] always been central to the SXSW ethos, and we have quickly become a recognized platform for visual artists to showcase art installations and connect with filmmakers, musicians, and technologists. The Art Program is the first time we have formalized the program and sought leading artists to design specific installations that we know will resonate with SXSW audiences.”
The SXSW festivals and conferences will take place from March 10 to 19 in its home city of Austin in Texas.
