Carnaval Buenos Aires 2022



The main parade of the 2022 Buenos Aires Carnival (“Carnaval Porteño 2022”) will take place on Sunday, March 6th, with a big event along Avenida de Mayo, between Bolivar and Carlos Pellegrini, from 4 PM, with the participation of numerous "murgas" (carnival bands) with their colorful costumes, songs, drums and percussion instruments.

Murgas and carnival are the artistic expressions of the marginal neighborhoods, their songs and urban folk customs. The lyrics of these songs are called "criticas", and combine the social denunciation with humor and dancing. What identifies the "murga porteña" from others are their costumes (frock coat, gloves, top hat, and stick), the drums with cymbals, and the various traditional rhythms used to differentiate every neighborhood. 

In addition to the carnival parades, throughout the day there will be gastronomic stalls where visitors can buy food and drinks, interventions by traveling artists, children's shows; DJ sets; a photographic exhibition that covers the history of Carnival; and a special musical closing show.

*The use of face masks is required.
*All the events are free of charge. 
*In case of rain the parade may be canceled.

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.
