On March 14 , Van Gogh Alive announced that, in accordance with Mexico’s government’s recommendations on social distancing , from March 21 , all shows will be temporarily suspended until further notice over coronavirus concerns.
The idea we have in mind of attending an art exhibition is to assist in a modern or antique building where the pieces are specially protected by security guards.
Van Gogh Alive
wants to break with this paradigm through a multisensory experience , according to the organizers.
identifies the Dutch painter, Van Gogh , as the most daring experimenter and, most of all, as an art history erudite. With over 900 paintings and 1,600 drawings, he created, along with other colleagues, a new style that was dubbed Post-Impressionism .

This style has the quality of using vibrant colors, abandoning Naturalism , and the represented shapes seem to be falling or moving. Those characteristics were the ones that granted Van Gogh’s paintings the fame they still carry.
According to Grande Exhibitions , the objective of this multisensory experience is to change the way in which we interact with art and to turn it into something unique. Through light, color, and sound , it takes us to Van Gogh’s world.
This experiment has visited over 50 cities in the world, such as Bogotá, Berlin, Firenze, Rome, Santiago, Shanghai, Verona , among many others.
Mexican company Must Wanted Group , through Van Gogh Alive, will present the work of this artist during the period from 1880 to 1890 with a series of photographs and videos screened on walls, columns, roofs, and floors of the venue.
