2 Michelin star Restaurant Vespertine by Jordan Kahn

A reverie.

Vespertine is the vision of chef Jordan Kahn. The project was formed through a collaboration with architect Eric Owen Moss, and a group of renowned artists to re-imagine and explore the experience of dining. the convergence of food, art, architecture, music, and sculpture is woven throughout to create an immersive, multi-sensory event.

As Jona Sees from Eyn Vas put it: "An optimization of sensitivity."

Constellation 167 House

Eric Owen Moss fundó su firma de arquitectura homónima en 1973. En los 50 años transcurridos desde entonces, se ha hecho conocido por sus edificios comerciales poco ortodoxos y experimentales, especialmente en y alrededor de Culver City, California.

Constellation 167 es su primera residencia y continúa su desdén por las formas tradicionales. Hormigón, piedra, metal y madera se combinan para crear un espacio interior verdaderamente único, que mide más de 500 metros cuadrados y abarca varios niveles, con un área de estar principal que se extiende hasta el techo abovedado.

Construida en 1991, la casa fue restaurada y reconstruida por los propietarios actuales, quienes también añadieron una laguna diseñada por Moss a la propiedad de 0,27 acres en Brentwood.

Van Johnson, Barry Jones, Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse in Brigadoon (Vincente Minnelli, 1954)

Cast: Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse, Van Johnson, Elaine Stewart, Barry Jones, Hugh Laing, Albert Sharpe, Virginia Bosler, Jimmy Thompson, Tudor Owen, Owen McGiveney, Dee Turnell, Dodie Heath, Eddie Quillan. Screenplay: Alan Jay Lerner, based on his book for a stage musical. Cinematography: Joseph Ruttenberg. Art direction: E. Preston Ames, Cedric Gibbons. Film editing: Albert Akst. Music: Conrad Salinger; songs by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. 

Three years after Brigadoon, MGM's biggest musical star wasn't Gene Kelly or Judy Garland, it was Elvis Presley, who made Jailhouse Rock (Richard Thorpe, 1957) and eleven more movies for the studio. Arthur Freed, Brigadoon's producer, made six more musicals for the studio before leaving it in 1961, but Brigadoon is often regarded as a sign that MGM's golden age was ending. It's not an original movie musical like An American in Paris (Vincente Minnelli, 1951) or Singin' in the Rain (Kelly and Stanley Donen, 1952), the most highly regarded of the films produced by the Freed Unit, but an adaptation of a Broadway hit. It's also filmed in Ansco Color, widely regarded as inferior to classic Technicolor. It was originally intended to be shot on location in the Scottish Highlands, but the studio decided the weather was too uncertain there. After considering another location in California near Big Sur, the decision was made to film it entirely on a soundstage in Culver City. The expensive set earned an Oscar nomination for art direction, even though the decision to make the film in CinemaScope only magnified the artificiality of the artificial turf and painted sky. Brigadoon is not just stagey -- there are pauses at the end of musical numbers where the Broadway audience would have applauded -- it's soundstagey.  Kelly, who also choreographed, is in good voice and Cyd Charisse (whose singing voice was dubbed by Carol Richards) dances beautifully, The song score by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe is one of their best, including hummable tunes like "The Heather on the Hill" and "Almost Like Being in Love." (Although some of the songs from the stage version, including "Come to Me, Bend to Me" and "There But for You Go I," were cut.) Yet there's something lifeless about the movie. Van Johnson, who was cast in the role of Kelly's sidekick after Donald O'Connor was considered, seems a little bored with his part. The cutesiness of the village that outwitted time and space is a little too thick: There's something almost refreshing about the scenes satirizing life in New York near the end of the film, which are supposed to indicate that Kelly's character made a big mistake in not staying in Brigadoon. Vincente Minnelli directs these scenes with a sharpness and vigor that's absent from the rest of the movie.

Aviation Pioneers Part 1: Howard Hughes

Howard Hughes, in full Howard Robard Hughes, Jr., (born December 24, 1905, Houston, Texas, U.S.—died April 5, 1976, in an airplane over southern Texas), American manufacturer, aviator, and motion-picture producer and director who acquired enormous wealth and celebrity from his various ventures but was perhaps better known for his eccentricities, especially his reclusiveness.

While making films, Hughes was also involved in aviation. In 1932 he founded the Hughes Aircraft Company in Culver City, California. On September 12, 1935, in an airplane of his own design, he established the world’s landplane speed record of 352.46 miles (567.23 km) per hour. On January 19, 1937, in the same craft, he averaged 332 miles per hour in lowering the transcontinental flight-time record to 7 hours 28 minutes. Flying a Lockheed 14, he circled Earth in a record 91 hours 14 minutes in July 1938. The following year Hughes bought a share of Trans World Airlines (TWA), and he eventually acquired 78 percent of its stock.

During World War II, Hughes’s focus turned to military aircraft, and his company had several government contracts, notably for the Hughes XF-11 and the H-4 Hercules. The planes ran over schedule, however, as did his movies, and were not completed until after the war. In 1946 he flew the Hughes XF-11, a reconnaissance plane, on its maiden test flight and suffered a nearly fatal accident. The Hercules, an eight-engine wooden flying boat intended to carry 750 passengers, was not finished until 1947. That year Hughes was brought before a Senate committee investigating war profiteering. In the highly publicized hearing, he sparred with Sen. Owen Brewster and ultimately prevailed. Hughes subsequently piloted (1947) the Hercules, popularly known as the Spruce Goose, on its only flight—1 mile (1.6 km).

What's the vibe? #13

Tube strike is on the 15th March.

Tate Britain is doing a rehang and focusing on female artists.

Pokemon Sleep is going to be released at the end of the year. It's basically a fun sleep tracker and the goal of the game is to encourage sleep and encounter new Pokemon that have the same sleep style as you.

So here we have an emphasis on rest, in this and also in the Rick Owens installation at Moncler last week.

Fashion Week Recaps:

Prada WW

Sunnei - love the performance.

Chopova Lowena

Bottega

Maker of the week:

Bailey Hikawa - ergonomic dynamic 3D printed phone cases.

Why? According to the brand: "We use our phones so much it has become unconscious. My phone case designs transform the phone into an object with a body and texture. When we interact with an object that has a body, we can see it as separate from ourselves, and maybe even transform our relationship to the phone."

Things I saw this week:

Still House Plants at Kings Place on Thurs: really cool band, very experimental rock and loose music, anything was going at that point.

Broker (film) - probably would say it's a 3.5/5 film, the cinema was packed which is quite interesting. People have the hunger for foreign films or just known good films. Was beautiful but something was missing - some of it was beauty with no substance.

Dustin - dir Naila Guiget (2020) - modern French short about raving, sexuality and change.
