EURYTHMICS "SWEET DREAMS"
A whiplash of a track that everyone knows. You can find the full lyric below but it contains one of the best couplets in modern music :
"Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused"
The painting "Tamarind I" is by my favourite artist of the last 50 years, Allen Jones. It seems to fit aspects of the original "Sweet Dreams" vid rather well.
Drop a coin in the slot :
Props from the Korova Milkbar in the Kubrick film of A Clockwork Orange, 1971. From the book by Anthony Burgess. At the Kubrick Exhibition at the Design Museum in London. Figure created by Liz Moore and the set design by John Barry. This is where Alex and his droogs drank milk laced with drugs in preparation for Ultraviolence. In Nadsat, "a real horrorshow".
Depicting the objectification and diminution of women by showing them used as furniture had already been done by artist Allen Jones
Wandering the streets of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
This 1950s neon sign gradually lost its lustre over the decades but was recently restored and now offers a dramatic splash of colour on East Hastings Street.
Today the Astoria is a single-room occupancy 85 room hotel, with a newly rejuvenated bar.
Originally known as the R. A. Wallace Building and the Toronto House/Apartments it opened in 1913.
HISTORY:
In 1912 the building was designed by architectural firm Braunton & Leibert, and constructed by Allen & Jones.
R. A. Wallace was the original owner and it cost him $53,000.
Robert Aubrey Wallace died in 1950 the year the apartments became the Astoria Hotel.
The Astoria took on a new life in 1977. The Astoria Boxing Club was founded here when the hotel pub owner, Louis Valente Sr., allowed a boxing club to use the basement space as a gym.
The club had been around since 1966 and assumed the Astoria name after moving into its new location.
The club produced two Olympians (Manny Sobral and Dale Walters), some Commonwealth Games fighters, as well as many Canadian champions.
Due to the deteriorating environment in the Downtown Eastside, the club left the building in 1998 and moved several times, changed its name to "The Eastside Boxing Club" and eventually shut down in 2012.
2012 and The Eastside Boxing Club was resurrected as a non-profit and resides in a newly renovated space at 238 Keefer Street in Vancouver's Chinatown.
One year ago on May 6, 2019 I was pleasantly surprised to come across this large portrait by Allen Jones in London's National Portrait Gallery. Darcey Bussell is widely acclaimed as one of the great British ballerinas and she is also someone I've had the good fortune to see dancing more than once.
One of the pieces from the Allen Jones exhibition at the RA. I was largely confused by the exhibition, but I quite liked this one.

Cosmic House was the home of architect Charles Jencks.
and now run by the Jencks Foundation.
Charles Jencks and architect Terry Farrell and others built the house in the Post-Modern style.
Jencks' was interested in symbols and signs as a result he designed the "Jencksiana" a motif that is used in many forms within the house - the shape of windows and on the back of chairs for example.
Couldn't remember where I'd seen this - and then recalled that it was at Burlington House - an REA exhibition of the works of Allen Jones.

The Sans Souci Hotel in Vienna, Australia opened in December of last year. The boutique hotel is the perfect hotspot for art lovers, feasting modern furnishings alongside show stopping art masterpieces by artists like Steve Kaufman, Roy Lichtenstein, and Allen Jones. Over half the art featured in the hotel is from the owner’s private collection, providing a rare opportunity for guests to view a one-of-a-kind gallery.
Allen Jones, one of the hotel’s feature artists, is a British pop-artist best known for his sculptures. His art is proactive, erotic and innovative. He features themes of women, rubber fetishism, and BDSM. His sculptures often double as furniture including tables and chairs. The style of artwork he created was used in the hit movie A Clockwork Orange, even though it was designed by another artist since Allen Jones turned down the offer to produce the movie’s art over a financial disagreement.
Steve Kaufman, another featured artist in the Sans Souci, is one of the most American pop artists in history. Once the assistant to Andy Warhol, Steve Kaufman has become an iconic pop artist in his own right, creating works that feature celebrities, cigars, movies, and found options. His work celebrates pop culture and uses vibrant colors. Steve Kaufman directly paints on each screen print, creating not only a beautiful piece of mixed media but also making each canvas a one-of-a-kind original.
Roy Lichtenstein, the third premier artists whose artwork decorates the Sans Souci hotel, was also a prominent American pop artist during the 1960s. His artwork featured old-fashioned comic strips that were as humorous as they were beautiful. His art was a critique on modern American popular culture.
The hotel is located in the perfect area for its target clientele. The Sans Souci is in the artsy Spittelberg district near the Volkstheater. Nearby are a number of art galleries and museums including the Leopold Museum, the Kinsthalle Wien, the Museum of Art (Kunsthistorisches Museum, KHM.) It is also a short two minute walk away from Mariahilferstrasse, Vienna’s largest shopping district.
The boutique hotel has 63 rooms complete with parquet floors, designer furnishings, gold mural, marble bathrooms and steam showers. Each room is uniquely styled with individualized furniture and art. The art collection is also displayed in the public areas of the hotel for your viewing pleasure. Inside the hotel is also a state of the art Spa club, a wellness oasis. It has two treatment rooms, 2 saunas, a steam bath, a sun bank, a fitness room, and a swimming pool.
The Sans Souci hotel in Vienna is a Mecca of all things modern: Modern art, modern design, and modern luxury. The hotel is equally well suited to lovers of art and lovers of all things trendy. The location and styling blend together seamlessly. This hotel offers a one of a kind experience uniquely tailored to the trendy, art-loving, and fashion forward jet set crowd. Vienna is a city that has historically been on the cutting edge of art and fashion, and the Sans Souci hotel is another example of the city’s embrace of the modern era.
Story by The Squeeze
This sculptural piece has been named after a region of the Balkans known for importing trafficked girls before they are shipped over to the UK and other European countries. Chairs have a particularly intimate relationship with the human body, and the drilled and shackled legs are juxtaposed by resins inlaid with male sex toys, and childhood objects to signify the loss of innocence from these often young girls.
