Prada Mode Miami: Theaster Gates curates exclusive art club during Art Basel
Prada launches Prada Mode, a members-only club in Miami from December 4 to 6, coinciding with Art Basel Miami Beach. The event, held at the Freehand Miami boutique hotel, features a site-specific installation by artist Theaster Gates, who recently joined Gagosian gallery. Gates' intervention is described as a spiritual retreat from the city's clamor. The program includes performances, DJ sets, and daytime events organized by Gates, the National YoungArts Foundation, and Document Journal. Prada Mode follows the success of the 2017 Prada Double Club by Carsten Höller, which attracted global press and VIPs. Gates, known for his 2016 exhibition 'True Value' at Fondazione Prada in Milan, also curated 'The Black Image Corporation' at Osservatorio Prada in Milan until January 14, 2019, exploring African American aesthetic-cultural codes.
