Imagine Van Gogh, first immersive exhibition to arrive in Buenos Aires

 
Imagine Van Gogh, the first of the Van Gogh immersive exhibitions to arrive in Argentina, will open its doors at La Rural on February 16th, 2022. 
Imagine Van Gogh is the Original Immersive Exhibition of the genius of painting Vincent Van Gogh. Created by Annabelle Mauger and Julien Baron, the exhibition features more than 200 works by the celebrated painter, presented in Total Image©, an advanced technology created in 1977 by French photographer and filmmaker, Albert Plécy, and developed by Annabelle Mauger. 
Imagine Van Gogh invites visitors to literally enter the world and the works that the Dutch genius created during the last two years of his life, between 1888 when he moved to Arles in the south of France, until his death in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890. In the exhibition, the public will be able to admire The Starry Night, The Sunflowers, The Irises, or let themselves be carried away by the intimacy of his Bedroom in Arles. 
Visitors will walk through the exhibition in total darkness, illuminated only by giant projections of the artist's most famous paintings, accompanied by the music of the great composers SaintSaëns, Mozart, Bach, Delibes and Satie. 
Total Image© technology brings an innovative dimension to the concept of artistic exhibition and revolutionizes the encounter between creator, works of art and public. Total Image© is the original technology used in immersive art exhibitions, absorbing viewers to the point where they can literally walk inside the images, allowing them to experience the emotional depth of the artwork in a much more personal and ethereal way, to feel more deeply connected to the artist.
The 200 paintings featured in the exhibition are part of prestigious museum collections such as the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the National Gallery of Art in London, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Venue: La Rural, Predio Ferial de Buenos Aires. Frers Pavilion. Santa Fe Av. 4363.
Official website: www.imagine-vangogh.com
Entry fees:
General adults: AR$ 3.000.
General children under 12: AR$ 2.000.
Family pack (2 adults + 2 children under 12): AR$ 8.000.
