"As I stepped inside Dalidom this week, a trippy mirrored dome designed by Salvador Dalí, I overheard someone gazing at the ceiling and asking, 'Where am I? I'm trying to find myself.' While he was speaking literally about seeking his own image in the mirrored panels surrounding us, his question seemed to scratch at the meaning of Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy."
"Over and over as I walked through Luna Luna, the world's first art amusement park making its NYC debut, I felt gleefully unmoored. I watched as a Keith Haring-designed carousel whirred to life. I stumbled through a Roy Lichtenstein-created glass labyrinth. I danced with strangers inside David Hockney's Enchanted Tree."
"The exhibition feels both joyfully nostalgic and yet mysteriously foreign, a gobsmacking experience brought to life at The Shed in Manhattan after decades of dormancy. Luna Luna is, hands down, the coolest art exhibition to open in New York City this year, and it's on view through January 5, 2025 with tickets starting at $44/person."
"Back in 1987, an artist and peace activist named André Heller hosted Luna Luna for the first time in Hamburg, Germany. That summer, the experience delighted 300,000 visitors with an avant-garde art amusement park created by big-name artists like Sonia Delaunay alongside then up-and-comers like Jean-Michel Basquiat."
