Creative Hedonism: How Prada’s Double Club Took Over Oscar Weekend in LA


This time round, Höller and Prada recruited Drake to help formulate that extreme. The Double Club was installed alongside Luna Luna, the Drake-operated revival of a 1987 Hamburg amusement park with rides created by artists including Basquiat, Keith Haring, David Hockney, and Salvador Dali. And Drake curated the second night of performance, which was headlined by Lil Wayne and Travis Scott alongside Pedro, Bianca Lexis, DJ Reflex, and the awesome Anderson .Paak.

Höller’s installation space nodded to Luna Luna (he visited the fairground first time round) via the installation of bumper cars, swing chairs, and a carousel—all of which ran all night long and for free. And it reflected the double agenda of Prada’s project by carving the space into a series of incrementally elevated stages, each one exactly half the area of the next, in order to create a blocky, brutalist spiral centerpiece in the heart of the room. This was illuminated with hundreds of multicolored light bulbs. Said Höller: “it’s placing the rationality of the division against the sensuality of the musical experience.”
