Immersive Van Gogh
If simple old paintings on a wall don’t get you excited about art, how about 500,000 cubic feet of projection, 60,600 video images, and 90 million pixels digitizing the work of one of the greatest painters in art, Vincent van Gogh? In an installation called Immersive Van Gogh (not to be confused with the other Van Gogh installation appearing later this month at the Dallas Museum of Art called Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience. Seriously, what are the odds?) Floor at 40 from van Gogh’s landscapes, night scenes, portraits and still life pictures. Originally scheduled for June, the show will now debut on Saturday, August 7th at 11 a.m. at The Lighthouse (507 S. Harwood St.). Tickets, $ 29.99 to $ 99.99, sell out.
