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.

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.

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.

Happy to see the ongoing work of PLAIN recognized by UNL in NE Quarterly. These are reminders of the ongoing work by students that string these projects and ideas together over the years. The Mizer’s Ruin itself an adaptation of the plan for our project … instagr.am/p/CjS9lxJNuK_/
