1961

Last Friday I attended the opening of my friend Loven and Faith Ramos' hospitality and art gallery enclave, 1961. It promises to be an exciting destination for art and lifestyle. It's not fully operational yet but we got a taste of what's to expect with a thought provoking exhibition by Ben Thynal at the main gallery called V. We also checked out the rooms as designed by Rachel Faller, Inal K., Tim Robertson and Loven, himself. In the lobby area, Kyota Hyoda, exhibited interesting artworks that somehow remixes manga in a form I haven't seen before. It's a must-see here in Siem Reap!

Thought-provoking artworks and cool get up. Why is it called 1961 though?

thanks. i designed the top.

i think it's called 1961 because the original structure is from that period.

Thanks.:-) So now it figures.

You carried off that top with ATTTUDE.:-) You will get a second look along Champs Elysee...just when you think that the locals are already so fashion-blasé.:-)
