“It’s something completely different,” said co-producer Corey Ross. “It’s film-meets-exhibition-meets-experiential in the sense that is a trend now in the arts from ‘Sleep No More’ to the Museum of Ice Cream to the ‘Friends’ exhibit in Chicago.”
The exhibition was originally supposed to run through May 2, but ticket sales since November have been so strong that a second block of tickets has been released, extending visits through Sept. 6.
“Immersive Van Gogh” incorporates 400 licensed van Gogh works from around the world, but it is not simply a parade of images. “What’s important about the show is the way [artistic creator] Massimiliano [Siccardi] deconstructs and reconstructs and animates the pieces,” Ross said. “So, if you’re coming expecting to see one piece in isolation like you might at a museum, that’s not what this experience is.”
Lighthouse ArtSpace added that the exhibition will open one hour earlier at 9 a.m. and will offer Saturday afternoon VIP and Premium tickets in February and March.
According to the company, the experience will be held in a newly renovated three-story facility at the Germania Club Building, located at 108 W. Germania Pl., dedicated to merging the boundaries between entertainment and culture.
The digital art exhibition, which initially captivated audiences in Toronto, takes a look into the works of post-Impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh, according to a release.
“Both connoisseurs and new admirers of Van Gogh’s work are guaranteed a breathtaking perspective on the influential artist’s oeuvre. Merging state-of-the-art technology, theatrical storytelling, animation and some of the finest works of art ever created, Immersive Van Gogh
