Celebrating art or the art of celebrating — the Fotografiska event to mark the opening of the Warhol exhibition, this Friday (17.05.2024), is both. The event is called “After the Party” and to view the exhibition appropriately, do so literally “after the party”. First, celebrate at Fotografiska and then come back and look at the photographs of the great pop artist. It’s worth coming to the opening party because the Fotografiska team has put together an impressive program — if you don’t get your money’s worth, you mustn’t have been in the mood to party. The party starts at 8 p.m. and Darwin Stapelwill begin DJing right after the opening speech. This will be followed by a curated program of dance performances in the ballroom by Soulmates. Two more DJ sets (John Agesilas and Kapela Marna) will follow until 4 am. If that’s not enough, then step it up to the next level: The Veronika Bar one floor above also has a program until 4 a.m., with tracks by Daniel Wang b2b Liad Krispin. From vogueing to ballroom, disco and house — the music will make you dance. One thing’s for sure, the house will be full — whether it will be as legendary as in Studio 54 is hard to say (because who was there?), but Fotografiska’s planned program is a good place to start.
