If you’ve spent time in Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum, then you know the Dutch artist’s brush strokes bristle with movement when seen up close. Thanks to a blockbuster exhibit that premiered in Toronto last year and has come to San Francisco, art lovers can now step inside the energy at Immersive Van Gogh at SVN West through September. 6.
On opening night, more than 500,000 cubic feet of moving projections and curated music engulfed civic leaders and guests with awe. Consider it a nice way to get out of our own heads for a moment and into van Gogh’s.
