The Double Club Los Angeles

Presented by Prada Mode

Private event: 7–8 MARCH, 2024

Open to Luna Luna “Forgotten Fantasy” Ticket Holders: 9–10 MARCH, 2024

Prada Mode presents the third edition of The Double Club, a project by Carsten Höller, in collaboration with Luna Luna on March 7 and 8, 2024, at the Luna Luna Studio in Los Angeles, California.

The Double Club Los Angeles centers around a site-specific installation based on several signature tropes of Carsten Höller’s artistic practice — the principle of division and the machinery of fun within carnival aesthetics.

For The Double Club Los Angeles, Höller continues his exploration of doubleness, transforming a vast warehouse in the heart of the Los Angeles Arts District into a fanciful landscape. Höller deconstructs the carnival experience through familiar ride types – carousel, roller coaster, and spinning chair swing — investigating spectacle, fun, and delight through the lens of contemporary art.

The Los Angeles iteration of The Double Club includes two days of musical programming curated by Carsten Höller and Drake including Craig Richards, La Cosecha Internacional, Straight Honey and DJ tsUgU in addition to DJ sets and live acts during the nights by Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, Anderson .Paak, Craig Richards, Arman Naféei, Cimafunk, Jojo Abot, La Goony Chonga, Mimi Xu, Pedro, Bianca Lexis, DJ Reflex.
