Housed in the liberty building of the Terme Tamerici in Montecatini Terme, the immersive exhibition Kandinsky Color Experience       an unmissable appointment for art lovers.   The exhibition, which examines some of the most fascinating works of the great Russian artist, uses the most recent technologies of virtual reality, projection and video mapping, to immerse the viewer in Kandinsky's work, surrounding it with lines, colors and sounds.

In one period, the early twentieth century, in which Freud and Jung unveiled the mechanisms of the unconscious and reality was gradually dematerialized thanks to new theories on the atom, even art begins to reflect on itself and focus on its essential components: form , color, sign, space. And who better than Kandinsky was able to bring this research to translate the psychic reality on the canvas to such astonishing results? The exhibition path, designed specifically for the prestigious spa, punctuated on the basis of the progressive discoveries of Kandinsky, whose research began in the northern regions of Russia, where he went from student to investigate local laws and folklore and to discover the magic of painting, up to being considered one of the greatest exponents of abstractionism.

The exhibition begins with the d openings of The Lady of Moscow (1912) masterfully made by the best students of Professor Gian Paolo Berto of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, to examine the passage of Kandinsky from figurative art to abstractionism, retracing the traces of the artist. Afterwards, the spectator will have the opportunity to experience Kandinsky's painting through projections and installations, all on the notes of the famous songs that inspired his art.

To make the Kandinsky Color Experience exhibition a unique event of its kind will be the presence of four locations of virtual reality: through the virtual painting technology, which allows to break down the barriers of bidimensionality, the viewer will have the opportunity to walk through the brushstrokes of the artist. The interactive projection instead, which uses the innovative leap motion technology, will allow the viewer to interact with the artwork, creatively moving the elements. The aim of the multimedia exhibition is to lead the viewer in the experience of painting by Wassily Kandinsky, leading him along a mental and sentimental itinerary full of suggestions.
