REXPERIENCE (RXP.KL), an immersive digital art gallery is opening its doors in the former cinema hall of REXKL, the creative and cultural hub in downtown Kuala Lumpur, starting with their first multi-artist exhibition, “Other World” on 20 September 2023. RXP.KL seeks to transform the historic REX Cinema—once the cultural epicentre of Petaling Street— into a modern, immersive art space.

Our vision is to create exhibitions that spark discovery and inspiration amongst art lovers, young innovators, and travellers in search of genuine creative, cultural and shared experiences,” said Sébastien Jurkowski, CEO and Creative Director of RXP.KL.
