Somehow, the original fantasy is maintained in the 80s makeover of the interior. More extremes - a “Ladies Room” with PoMo treatment of Art Deco that slips perfectly into Blue Velvet, Carnival of Souls and Wayne Thiebaud-“Contradiction” simply fails to describe it all.

I get a little tired of the old-world dismissal of the American Midwest and the cliches of culture industry snobbery towards “flyover states”. I guess it’s the long hangover of YBA faux radicalism or just more parochial Art Basel crap.

This is the Depression Era Hollywood movie palace architecture. Spanish colonial revival of “New Spain”. The facade whips together a coat of arms, a lion head, onion domes, rosettes and more.

Architects renovating past projects may fall into deceptive nostalgia. I am very grateful to Iker Gil and Mass Context for publishing this. I also want to dedicate this to the memory of Jonathan Hill. His influence is in here somewhere. I miss him.
