Taking over the Shelbourne Hall at the RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 from May 16, Van Gogh Dublin is a 20,000 square foot, light and sound ‘spectacular’ featuring two-story projections of the artist’s ‘most compelling works’

This afternoon.

Rob Kenny writes:

An incredible 360 degrees, completely immersive digital-art experience has just been announced to arrive to the RDS this May.

Celebrating the works of Vincent Van Gogh and bringing them to life in mind-bending ways all around you, this will be one of Dublin’s most exceptional new experiences we can all enjoy.

The event has been masterminded by Dublin based company Theatre of Light and multi-award-winning content powerhouse Nohlab. As part of the experience visitors will also be given the chance to view three award winning existing contemporary pieces of digital artwork, some of which feature in the famous Atelier Des Lumiere in Paris, that will take the visitor beyond Van Gogh, on a journey of the evolution on Art, Science and Light.

Good grief.

Last week, with a free family pass to see the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup™ this Friday at the Dublin Horse Show on offer, we asked you:

Why you would deserve such a prize?

‘Neighbour from Heaven’ won the pass with this desperate plea:

“Not wishing to be pushy,but I deserve the family ticket as my landlord has decided to sell up. The wife and our two kids have been lucky to find a new place to reside but the rent increases by €300 a month. We both work full time and any savings are now going to be lost on rent. She’s horse mad. Please give her something nice. Please :(“

Thanks all
