WHAT:
Ahead of its limited time opening in New York City on November 20th, Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy, the world’s first art amusement park, will host an exclusive preview on Monday, November 18th.
A fantastical fairground that fused an amusement park and an art museum, featuring rides, attractions and interactive installations by the 20th century’s most celebrated and innovative artists, Luna Luna features a ferris wheel by Jean-Michel Basquiat, a carousel by Keith Haring, a wave swinger by Kenny Scharf, a wedding chapel by André Heller, immersive pavilions by David Hockney, Salvador Dalí and Roy Lichtenstein alongside additional pieces from Arik Brauer, Sonia Delaunay, Monika Gil’sing, and more.
The New York show will include the aforementioned, carefully curated selection of original artist-created rides and attractions, along with new soon to be announced commissions, components, theatrics and performances. This will be complemented by archival materials that delve into the history and significance, taking visitors through the painstaking restoration process. Most importantly, visitors to this art amusement park will be transported to the world of Luna Luna as it was envisioned, with roving performers, curated music and an enchanting atmosphere along with access to iconic installations like David Hockney’s Enchanted Tree, Lichtenstein's Glass Labyrinth and Salvador Dalí’s Dalídome.
