A dizzying and disorienting experience full of surprises, immersive in the enormous vaulted hall of the Magazzini del Sale in Venice takesreceived this kind of high-tech treatment, but Visioni are veterans, having produced one of the earliest in this genre, the van Gogh immersive exhibit, billed as ‘the most successful exhibition in the world’ in terms of Ticket-master sales (in 2021). Fortunately (if you happen to be in Venice before November), the Husain show is unticketed. It will be screened (if that’s the term) in the KNMA’s new centre in Delhi’s Aerocity. Purists might carp that the whizz-bang tech distracts from the tactile craft of this most athletic artist. But if you want to see the original analogue Husain immersive, you can try the Husain-Doshi Gufa (now the Amdavad ni Gufa) in Ahmedabad.
