LUNA LUNA Forgotten Fantasy at THE SHED

LUNA LUNA: Forgotten Fantasy at THE SHED James Kalm has a deep ambivalence when it comes to unconstrained urban “development”. Hudson Yards is perhaps the most obvious recent example of this trend. Still, the history of New York is the history of gentrification. So when it came to visiting THE SHED, a cultural event venue right in the center of the Yards, your correspondent gritted his teeth and shelled out the $54 to visit “Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy”. The brainchild of Austrian artist André Heller, Luna Luna was billed as the “world’s first art amusement park” and Heller spent the better part of a decade convincing more than 30 internationally known artists to come up with ideas for projects that would fit the theme park concept. After the park’s debut in the summer of 1987 in Hamburg Germany other locations scheduled to host the project backed out. The rides and pavilions were dissembled, packed into shipping containers, and sent to Texas where the remained for nearly forty years. The Rap star Drake and his company DreamCrew became major share holders in Luna Luna in 2022, and began a restoration program that included an initial exhibition in Los Angeles in 2023. Although the SHED version of Luna Luna has only 15 of the original participants, the roster includes: Salvador Dalí, Sonia Delaunay, Monika GilSing, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, André Heller and Daniel Spoerri. Join your reporter as he wanders through this spectacle, attends a wedding in the André Heller Wedding Chapel, and scans the walls of historic ephemera. A musical introduction is provided by Frank Picarazzi. This program was recorded December 12, 2024. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
