The art historian Fanny Curtat, the art historian consultant for Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, discusses the exhibition which will open Wednesday, 01 February 2023 at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds Agriplex, with Joseph Planta.

Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience will open in Surrey at the Agriplex at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds next Wednesday, 01 February 2023, and will bring visitors completely into more than 300 of the greatest works of the artist Vincent Van Gogh. Produced by Paquin Entertainment Group, the same folks who produced Imagine Van Gogh last year here in Vancouver, this is an entirely different exhibition from the Montreal-based Normal Studio and its creative director Mathieu St-Arnaud. Joining me now is the art historian Fanny Curtat, who’ll preview what to expect in Surrey, the look and feel, as well as the sound and senses enlivened by the experience of the exhibition. I’ll ask her about Van Gogh, how he worked, and why he remains relevant today. Fanny Curtat is the art history consultant for Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience. She is a PhD candidate at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Visit www.vangoghsurrey.com for tickets and information. There are timed tickets though there isn’t a limit as to how long one can stay, so it’s not a rushed experience. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Fanny Curtat; Ms. Curtat, good morning.
