“Van Gogh Alive arrives in Bangkok”

I hope his COVID and other vaccines are in order!

I saw this (was dragged to it) in New York and the likewise show in Mexico City about Frieda Kahlo. Def worth a spliff up first. Moderately trippy, go off peak (late afternoon).

 

It's an example of how people want to experience art in the age of low attention spans and having something to instagram. Not for me or people of my late age, but well done for what it is.

 

I was def reminded of the Banksy docu film title, Exit Through The Giftshop. It's all about the gift shop.

 

I didn't pay (god forbid), but I believe it was uni-priced in both instances.

He also lived in London when he was 20 and worked as an art dealer in Covent Garden, walking every day from Brixton over Westminster bridge
