reader Posted March 30, 2023 Posted March 30, 2023 From Thai PBS World On March 31st, the world-renowned “Van Gogh Alive” exhibition will open its doors at ICONSIAM in Bangkok, offering visitors the most immersive and highly attended art experience in the world. “Van Gogh Alive” is a multimedia art exhibition that brings the works of Vincent van Gogh to life through digital technology. It was created by the Australian company Grande Exhibitions and has since travelled to over 80 cities around the world, captivating millions of visitors. The exhibition is a unique and immersive experience which combines high-resolution digital projections of van Gogh’s paintings with music and an interactive display. Visitors can explore the artist’s masterpieces in a new and dynamic way, getting up close and personal with his works’ vivid colours, bold brushstrokes and emotional intensity. One of the highlights is the “Sensory4” technology, which uses a multi-channel surround sound system and a synchronised scent diffusion system to enhance the visitor’s sensory experience. The combination of visuals, sound and scent creates a fully immersive and unforgettable experience. The show dates of “Van Gogh Alive” in Icon Siam Bangkok will be from 31st March until 31st July. Doors open at 10.30am and close at 9.00pm. The ticket price range from 480 baht to 1,490 baht. ========================= From The Nation Bangkok kite fest launches at Iconsiam with aerial duels and dazzling displays Tourists and kite enthusiasts swooped on the riverside at Iconsiam mall on Wednesday as preparations for Bangkok’s annual kite festival got underway.

PeterRS Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 If Van Goch Alive is as good as the two Exhibitions I have previously visited - the Caravaggio Exhibition at the Bangkok Art & Culture Centre and the Da Vinci Exhibition at River City - it will be excellent. Quote

Van Gogh Alive was the biggest kitsch event of 2022 in the United States and, before that, the UK and elsewhere. But YMMV with these projected images and the accompanying hyped giftshop trinkets.
