Museums have officially fallen off the wagon. A glut of museum-hosted shindigs throw down nearly every weekend. Not that I’m complaining: Most art looks even better with a nice buzz on.
This Friday, the Guggenheim hosts its sporadic First Fridays fete, with The Juan Maclean rocking the decks. This edition is extra special because Cai Guo-Qiang’s jaw-dropping installation in the Gugg’s rotunda suspends seven full-sized vehicles at different points from floor to very-tall ceiling. Multi-colored LED-filled tubes burst from the cars like fireworks that never rain down on the heads of patrons below. Talk about an awesome party venue.
Party runs from 9pm-1am. $25 admission but free for Guggenheim members. This particular event has limited capacity do to the exhibit. Line up early; it’s sure to sell out.
