Into the world of Van Gogh 360°: an immersive art exhibition experience in New Delhi

One of the most iconic painters and proponents of post-impressionism, Vincent Willem van Gogh’s artworks are getting a 360° technological adaptation. The travelling exhibition Van Gogh 360°, which arrived in India at Mumbai’s World Trade Centre in January this year, has now reached New Delhi and will tour 15 more cities in the country, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Chandigarh, Hyderabad and Pune. Mark Monahan, executive director of Festival House Inc, says Van Gogh 360° has been showcased in many cities of Canada, including its capital, Ottawa, before India. “We saw the exhibit in Europe and in cities across North America, including New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Toronto, and reached out to a Toronto-based company that specialises in video content to envision the sequencing and interpret Gogh’s art — using a mix of well-known and lesser-known pieces spanning Gogh’s entire body of work — all set to an original soundtrack,” he says. The giant projections highlight brushstroke, detail, and colour.” This edition of Van Gogh 360°, presented by DLF Malls and Absolut Glassware, features a lounge space and a bar alongside a creative space for people to engage with art.
