It's art.. but not as we know it. Carston Holler (of the Tate slides fame) brings a bit of Congolese vibrancy and colour to a North London warehouse with The Double Club. This "art installation" fuses African and Western influences, as a club, bar, restaurant in one - where a traditional Congolese copper bar stands next to a swish restaurant (serving up Congolese dishes and pricier European fayre) ... and decorative tiles contrast with cobbled stone floors. The revolving dance floor is tiny, but there's a huge window into the bar area... I'm sure most of the punters wont even realise its supposed to be art - but that's the point, isn't it?
Its only here for six months before being dismantled and sent to the Prada Foundation in Milan. Enjoy it while it lasts..
