Immersive Van Gogh Digital Art Shows Coming to Nearly 30 U.S. Ci

Submerged in Van Gogh: Would Absinthe Make the Art Grow Fonder?
HTML https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/09/arts/design/van-gogh-immersive-manhattan.html
HTML https://stepoutbuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Beyond-Van-Gogh2.jpg
Babies don’t develop stereoscopic vision for the first few
months of their life; they have a hard time perceiving depth and
dimensions, and therefore gravitate to swirling shapes and
bright colors. They and others with similar taste will find
great pleasure in our culture’s latest virally transmitted
spectacles, which distill fin-de-siècle French painting into an
amusement as captivating as a nursery mobile.
Vincent van Gogh, his corpse moldering in Auvers-sur-Oise and
his paintings out of copyright, has these past few years been
dragooned into a new sort of immersive exhibition that
reproduces his churning paintings of Provence as wall-filling
animated projections — you may have seen them on Instagram, or
on a Netflix indignity called “Emily in Paris.” The Franco-Dutch
artist has always been a huge box-office draw (the Van Gogh
Museum in Amsterdam drew 2 million visitors in 2019), but a
touring exhibition of paintings takes years and costs millions,
and reputable museums don’t lend their works to a for-profit
enterprise.
What a few entrepreneurial exhibitionists figured out is that
many of us are less attached to van Gogh’s paintings than to the
mythology that surrounds them. And that you can exhibit for
cheap.

“Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience,” at 300 Vesey Street.

painted in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and in the collection of the
Musée d’Orsay in Paris.CreditCredit...Video by Sam Youkilis
Producers have strung together hi-res digital copies of “Bedroom
in Arles” or “Wheatfield with Crows” into medium-length films,
supplemented with astral soundtracks (and well-stocked gift
shops). These things are such profit spinners that half a dozen
competing Vincent spectacles have arisen, drawing millions of
visitors from Toledo to Abu Dhabi to shell out for a
21st-century version of the Joshua Light Show.
Now these “Starry Night”-filled rooms have come to the city that
actually owns “Starry Night” — and indeed here in New York we’ve
got 20-odd other van Goghs, held between the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim
Museum. Through the fall, these actual van Goghs share the
island with two postimpressionist fairground attractions, one on
each Lower Manhattan riverside, jockeying for supremacy in
Google search results.

“Immersive Van Gogh,” on Pier 36 near the Manhattan Bridge,
favors lavish, synesthetic visuals. “Van Gogh: The Immersive
Experience,” in Battery Park City, offers a more chronological
path through his sun-drenched and star-dappled landscapes. Each
features irises, sunflowers and almond blossoms, cloned and
flipped at mural scale, their short brush strokes whirling like
cold fronts on Sam Champion’s five-day AccuWeather forecast.
Like Vincent, I too suffer for my art, and so I attended both of
them. If you are committed to trying one out, go to the east
side, which has graphics of meaningfully greater sophistication.
(Adult tickets range from about $36 to $55 and rise with various
fees, supplements and hustles. MoMA is $25, and the Met is
pay-what-you-wish for locals.) Whether you attend either or both
you should bring a fully charged cameraphone; some might also
enjoy a psychedelic supplement, and in fact the east side venue
plans to install an absinthe bar later on. Sensuous selfie
backdrops come well before intellectual engagement here, so you
might as well make the most of it.

(Champs de blé),” from 1888.CreditCredit...Video by Sam Youkilis
At the east side venue, designed by the Broadway set designer
David Korins, three consecutive rooms display the same video
projections, created by Massimiliano Siccardi. Mirrored objects
strewn throughout reflect the screens; you sit on the floor, on
a few benches, or (if you’re feeling flush) on a rented cushion.
On the west side, the projections fill a single, much taller
room, equipped with beach chairs. An English-accented narrator
drones van Gogh quotations over the west side’s projections; the
east side show is unnarrated, backed instead by a trip-hop remix
of Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” and, more curiously,
Édith Piaf belting out “Non, je ne regrette rien.” The west side
show offers more introductory materials, though really, you
could just read the van Gogh entry on Wikipedia while you’re at
each.
Both exhibitions emphasize van Gogh as a lone, tortured genius
rather than a figure of history, and both imply through their
editing and exposition that his thick outlines and non-local
color were a spontaneous outpouring of his soul. Fair enough if
you don’t want to chart the development of painterly style in
19th-century France, but even the rudiments of van Gogh are not
easy to capture in photographic reproductions.
If you go to MoMA to see “Starry Night,” or to the Yale
University Art Gallery (free admission!) to visit “The Night
Café,” you can spend as much time as you like examining van
Gogh’s mastery of impasto — that is, the thick application of
paint that gives the paintings their nervous, shuddering
quality. In these wall-size screen savers, impasto has to be
mimicked through motion: dancing brush strokes, falling leaves,
flapping crows.

Street.CreditCredit...Video by Sam Youkilis
The animations at the west side show are rudimentary and have
herky-jerky transitions that reminded me of the solitaire app I
used to play in Windows 95. The east side show is cleaner and
sexier, though not more sophisticated than the flat-screen
visuals in airport terminals or sports stadiums.
In both cases, the digital reproductions — particularly of the
1888 Arles street scene “Café Terrace at Night” — strongly
recall the escapist fantasies of anime, and the childish moral
sentiments that go with them. Contrasted with the immoderate
passions of the 1956 movie “Lust for Life,” or the 2018 biopic
“At Eternity’s Gate,” these selfie chambers are as benign as the
Japanese animated film “My Neighbor Totoro.” The art’s personal
anguish and social tensions both dissolve into a mist of
let’s-pretend; this van Gogh is less an artist than a craftsman
of other worlds. (A “universe,” as the Marvel or Harry Potter
fans say.)
As for the technology: although these immersives have been
touted as breakthroughs in exhibition design, room-filling
cinema projections go back many decades. The shows hark back in
particular to multi-projector attractions at the World’s Fair in
Queens in 1964 and at Expo ’67 in Montreal, which cast humanist
visions of the future in all directions. What’s new today is
something else: not the pictures on the walls, but the phone in
your hand. Individual absorption, rather than shared wonder, is
the order of the day now. From every vantage point you will fill
your phone’s backlit screen with glowing imagery, and there’s
more than enough space to crop out other visitors and frame only
yourself.

Is it all worth your hard-earned guilders? The east side
immersion runs on a loop of about 35 minutes, the west side one
about an hour. Not long for a ticket so pricey, but you can stay
as long as you like, and both offer sideshows to boost your
value. On the west side there’s a 3-D replica of van Gogh’s
Arles bedroom, a coloring station for children, as well as a
virtual reality experience that whisks you through a waxy
simulation of Arles.
The east side show has booths rigged up with sounds associated
with colored lights to suggest the chromesthesia van Gogh
described in letters to his brother Theo, plus mannequins
wearing shockingly tacky van Gogh-inspired clothing. (Where
might these dresses festooned with wheat and sunflowers be
appropriate? The Miss Provence pageant? Is there a Saint-Rémy
drag night I don’t know about?) Also a bar with snacks sold “to
Gogh,” which is a cute joke that only works in America — the
French pronounce his name “van GOGUE,” the Dutch “fun KHOKH,”
and Diane Keaton in “Manhattan” prefers “van GOKH,” the final
consonant disdainfully ejected from the back of the throat.

du Forum, Arles,” from 1888.CreditCredit...Video by Sam Youkilis
Keaton’s character in “Manhattan” has nominated van Gogh
(alongside Ingmar Bergman and Gustav Mahler) for her “Academy of
the Overrated,” and there is a shooting-fish-in-a-barrel version
of this review that could end: painting is not spectacle, and
van Gogh is more than decoration. Even this era’s most
narcissist-friendly art installations — Yayoi Kusama’s “Infinity
Rooms,” Random International’s “Rain Room,” or the
all-engrossing environments of Miami’s Superblue — are at least
original works, with a greater aim than artistic brand
activation.
Still, after a few hours in these sensoria, I had to believe
that the millions of visitors who enjoy these immersive van Gogh
displays are getting something out of it. There’s a speechless
and irreducible quality to great art, a value that goes beyond
communication or advocacy. And if audiences find that quality
more immediately here than they do in our traditional
institutions, maybe we should be asking why.
Have our museums and galleries played down too much the
emotional impact of the art they show? In the Metropolitan
Museum of Art’s gallery 822, you can stand as long as you like
in front of van Gogh’s “Wheat Field with Cypresses,” the
agitated clouds rolling like waves, its climbing greenery edged
with trembling blacks. I want everyone to discover, right there
in the thick grooves of the oil paint, the wonder and vitality
of art that needs no animation. There has got to be a way to
lead people back to that discovery, even if some of us take a
selfie afterward.

About Beyond Van Gogh
In an imaginative and immersive presentation crafted for our
unique times by world renowned audiovisual designers, Beyond Van
Gogh uses cutting-edge projection technology to create an
engaging journey into the world of Van Gogh. Using his dreams,
his thoughts, and his words to drive the experience as a
narrative, we move along projection swathed walls wrapped in
light, colour, and shapes that swirl, dance and refocus into
flowers, cafes and landscapes.
Masterpieces, now freed from frames, come alive, appear and
disappear, flow across multi-surfaces, the minutia of details
titillating our heightened senses. Through his own words set to
a symphonic score, we may come to a new appreciation of this
tortured artist’s stunning work.

Immersive Van Gogh Digital Art Shows Coming to Nearly 30 U.S.
Cities
Tickets are on sale in New York, Chicago, and other cities for
five different traveling exhibitions featuring the Dutch
painter’s famous works.

Over the past few years, immersive digital art museums have
drawn crowds everywhere from Tokyo to Paris to Bordeaux. (There
was even a drive-in exhibit in Toronto last year.) Now, people
in the United States finally get to enjoy this 360-degree
experience set to music with not one, but five traveling shows
featuring the work of Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. While each
of the shows is distinct, they are similar in that they place
visitors in the middle of large-scale moving images that are
projected onto the walls, ceilings, and floors in a large
gallery or warehouse space.
Exhibits in Chicago, San Francisco, and St. Petersburg, Florida,
are already open, while ticket sales have started—and are
already selling out—for experiences in Los Angeles and New York
opening later this spring. Find out more about where each show
is happening, how they differ (slightly), and how to get tickets
before they’re gone:
1. Immersive Van Gogh
Created and run by the same team behind Atelier des Lumières in
Paris (aka the digital art show featured in Netflix’s Emily in
Paris), Immersive Van Gogh features more than 500,000 cubic feet
of projections and lasts one hour. Expect to see iconic van Gogh
works including The Potato Eaters (1885), Starry Night (1889),
Sunflowers (1888), and The Bedroom (1889). The large-scale
digital animations of the Dutch painter’s work are set to
original songs composed by Italian multimedia composer Luca
Longobardi.
The show is currently open in Chicago and San Francisco, with
upcoming events in 16 other cities in the next few months. In a
review in the Chicago Tribune, arts reporter Steve Johnson
likened it to an “updated version” of those 1970s Pink Floyd
laser light shows at a planetarium.
“But instead of the borderline skeezy rock culture undertones of
a Floyd show, making it about an artist . . . puts a veneer of
high culture on the whole thing,” Johnson wrote. “Tonight’s head
trip is being sponsored by your college’s core curriculum
requirement in humanities and the arts.”
Tickets are sold by timed entry and are going quickly (the L.A.
show is sold out through mid-November 2021 already). Social
distancing circles are projected on the floor of the gallery to
give guests their own space during their visit.
