Description
In his book Delirious New York (1978) Rem Koolhaas compared Coney Island and his legendary Luna Park (1903-1944) with a laboratory. An amusement park full of attractions as a lab for the world!
Wendelin Pressl is picking up this idea and transforming it into his Luna Park. With his artistic work, indexed by titles that sound like attractions: Waterworld, Rollercoaster, Casino, Astroland. In order to practise analysis. World observations, in his laboratory, now.
Texts by Walter Moser, Franz Thalmair and Marcus Steinweg.
