​IMMERSED IN VAN GOGH

Picture
     Like so many of my fellow Americans, I was introduced to the Immersive Van Gogh moving light show while watching that memorable episode of the Netflix comedy series "Emily n Paris" in which Emily, a hapless young American in Paris, visits the Van Gogh show  and, as usual, finds herself having to negotiate yet another of the awkward situations that never cease to befall her.
Picture
     And yet in this particular episode the heroine's dilemma du jour takes a back seat to the gorgeous background scenes of the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit.
Picture
          Dang, thought I as I sat gazing at my  television screen, I  wish I could go to that place.
         
As it turned out, by good fortune that place came to me when the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit opened  at the end of October in Columbus at the Lighthouse ArtSpace on Polaris Parkway.      
Picture
​    I procured four tickets early in 2021, as soon as I heard of the Immersive Van Gogh and realized that it was the very "Emily in Paris" thing that I'd jonesed over while sitting in front of my TV. I bought tickets for Tom, myself,
Picture
...my son Tommy and my soon-to-be-daughter-in-law Emily,
Picture
...and on Tuesday, November 16, we headed up to Polaris Parkway,
Picture
   ...and experienced the Immersive Van Gogh.

     In truth, I wasn't sure how the whole modus operandi of the exhibit worked. I assumed it was a more traditional museum set-up, where one walked from room to room. But no, the show takes place in one vast hall where one snags oneself a spot within one of the COVID rings (as we called them) on the floor,

...or against the wall,
Picture
...while giant light images of Van Gogh's works float around the walls and across the floor to the  strains of beautiful music, 
Picture
...and one becomes immersed in Van Gogh.

      The show plays out in a constantly-running a thirty-five-minute loop, and one is permitted to arrive within a generous time window before or after the arrival time printed on one's ticket. One may then stay, re-watching the Van Gogh loop if one wishes, for two hours.  We stayed for two loops.
        Me, I could have stayed for three.
