Immersive Van Gogh turns self-isolation into group entertainment

posted in: All News, Canada | 0

A high-tech art exhibition allows Torontonians to escape into the enduringly popular Dutch painter’s mind via a relic of the city’s industrial past.

With most cultural events cancelled due to coronavirus, the only game in town for high-concept mass entertainment in Toronto this summer is both random and appropriate.

Immersive Van Gogh is a digital projection show that takes the paintings of Dutch impressionist master Vincent van Gogh and turns them into psychedelic animation.

Located in the cavernous former Toronto Star printing plant at 1 Yonge, the exhibition offers a 35-minute escape from pandemic anxiety into a dark, air-conditioned room of swirling brushstrokes, sunflowers, stars and 19th-century domestic iconography.
