"For those who have long romanticized the floating city of Venice, the Brooklyn Museum's new exhibit will only stoke those desires. Featuring a rare reunion of Claude Monet's iconic Venetian paintings, visitors are encouraged to "travel" to this dreamy destination and immerse themselves in art inspired by the city's timeless beauty. "Monet and Venice" engages audiences through multi-sensory elements, including an original symphonic score inspired by Monet's Venice paintings by the Brooklyn Museum's composer in residence, Niles Luther."
"As you enter the exhibit, you're immersed into Venice almost immediately with film and clips from the city, along with the sound of water lapping against boats. The multi-sensory elements feel transportative, letting you experience Venice's atmosphere first hand. This part of the show is produced by Brooklyn-based design and tech studio Potion, featuring film by Venice-based Joan Porcel Studio and an ethereal soundscape by Luther, using field recordings he captured in Venice and parts of melodies from his symphony."
