Episode 5 – “Immersing” in Van Gogh

To make the most out of your listening experience, follow along with the episode’s Wingman post on our instagram: @artvirgins

Show Notes:

Do you get more out of an exhibition if you prepare a little beforehand? In this episode, we explore our visit to the Van Gogh Experience and discover how learning just a bit about the artist’s life and struggles transforms the way you see his work.

From immersive projections to emotional storytelling, we share how context makes Van Gogh’s art hit differently—and why sometimes “going in cold” versus prepping ahead leads to two completely different experiences.

Are you ready to dive in? Let’s go!

 

Highlights:

• How to prepare for an art exhibition as a beginner.
• Why context changes the way you experience an artist’s work.
• What immersive exhibitions can teach us about connecting with art.
• How Van Gogh’s life story deepens the impact of his paintings.
