A new form of exhibition has become a trend in gallery going, and it requires no art at all, or rather, it only needs images of art. We’re talking about the projection-based exhibition. These shows bring visitors into a single immersive space where the walls, ceiling, and floor come alive with moving visuals, wrapping visitors in the artwork itself. The latest entry in this innovative gallery is “Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified,” a 50-minute immersive musical journey through the history of rock ‘n’ roll, narrated by the actor and musician Kevin Bacon. Featured in both the New York City and Houston Artechouse locations, the show looks at over 300 artists. —Hannah Gross
