Dover Street Market - 17-18 Dover Street (pizzagatewhatever)

Continuing with the Pizzagate Real Estate series..;-)

Dover Street is a very interesting address in Mayfair, London. So interesting, it's not really feasible to cram everything into one post. So, I'll address a number of properties on that street in individual posts..

DOVER STREET MARKET https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dover_Street_Market

Dover Street Market is a multi-brand retailer originally located on Dover Street, in Mayfair, London. It has stores in New York City, Tokyo, Singapore and Beijing and will open Los Angeles in fall 2018.

The concept behind it, was to construct a new kind of shop that would celebrate creativity, decry comformity and ignore established principles of retail. A place where streetwear would collide with luxury, young designers would line up with world famous icons, artists would interfere in the installations, designers would be free to make their own spaces. Aiming to create a BEAUTIFUL CHAOS.

Dover Street Market was created by Rei Kawakubo of Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons and her husband Adrian Joffe.

The first Dover Street Market opened on September 10th 2004 on 17–18 Dover Street, in Mayfair, London. In March 2016 the original store relocated to the former Burberry building (erected in 1912 by Thomas Burberry) on Haymarket (South Piccadilly).

The orginal Dover Street Market (17-18 Dover Street, London) used to be home of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in May 1950.

The London, Tokyo and New York stores all have a Rose Bakery café,[4] created by Rose Carrarini and her husband Jean Charles.

Rose Carrarini and her husband, Jean-Charles, are in New York City visiting their first U.S. franchise, which they opened in the Dover Street Market last December. Since establishing the original Rose Bakery on Paris’s Rue des Martyrs in 2002, they have gone on to plant three more in that city, one in London, five in Tokyo and two in Seoul. Up next: one in Hong Kong.

"What is surprising to me is the one person who influenced me right at the beginning was Alice Waters, twenty, twenty-five years ago. I was living in England at the time, and she opened up a whole new world to me. England caught up really quickly to Alice Waters and was way ahead. "

Uh huh..

Can we actually buy into fashion’s gender revolution? Devonté Hynes and Neneh Cherry - He She Me

Credit is due to Dover Street Market for its division of floors by designer rather than sex, but it was Selfridges who made the first move to explicitly embrace gender-free retail, launching their Agender campaign and in-store department in March 2015.

Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thee_Temple_ov_Psychick_Youth

Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth or TOPY was a fellowship founded in 1981[1] by members of Psychic TV (including later members of Coil and Current 93) and a number of other individuals.[2] The network is a loosely federated group of people operating as a blend of artistic collective and practitioners of magic.

TOPY's research has covered both left hand and right hand ritual magic and elements of psychology, art and music. Brion Gysin, the Process Church of the Final Judgement, William S. Burroughs, Aleister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare stand out as major influences.

Institute of Contemporary Arts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Contemporary_Arts

The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) is an artistic and cultural centre on The Mall in London, just off Trafalgar Square. Located within Nash House, part of Carlton House Terrace, near the Duke of York Steps and Admiralty Arch, the ICA contains galleries, a theatre, two cinemas, a bookshop and a bar. Stefan Kalmár became its director in 2016.

The ICA was founded by Roland Penrose, Peter Watson, Herbert Read, Peter Gregory,[1] Geoffrey Grigson and E. L. T. Mesens in 1947. The ICA's founders intended to establish a space where artists, writers and scientists could debate ideas outside the traditional confines of the Royal Academy. The model for establishing the ICA was the earlier Leeds Arts Club, founded in 1903 by Alfred Orage, of which Herbert Read had been a leading member. Like the ICA, this too was a centre for multi-disciplinary debate, combined with avant-garde art exhibition and performances, within a framework that emphasised a radical social outlook.

The Institute of Contemporary Arts is an artistic center in London. The institute has a history that is deeply connected to the modern art movement, and especially to Pop Art specifically.

In fact, it was in a lot of ways foundational in the establishment of the Pop Art movements. aMany artists who exhibited their art or gave lectures in this institute moved on to spread Pop Art across the waters into North America. It was the launching point for the Brutalist style of architecture, as well as for Op Art, a style of art that makes heavy use of optical illusions.

It was the meeting place of the members of the Independent Group. The IG were important figures in the emergence of Pop Art in the early 1950's. It was home to the historically important art exhibition This is Tomorrow. The show displayed some of the earliest examples of Pop Art that the world had ever seen. Plus the works of some artists who would later become well-known.

Independent Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Group

The Independent Group (IG) met at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London, England, from 1952 to 1955. The IG consisted of painters, sculptors, architects, writers and critics who wanted to challenge prevailing modernist approaches to culture. They introduced mass culture into debates about high culture, re-evaluated modernism and created the "as found" or "found object" aesthetic.[1] The subject of renewed interest in a post disciplinary age, the IG was the topic of a two-day, international conference at the Tate Britain in March 2007. The Independent Group is regarded as the precursor to the Pop Art movement in Britain.

The Independent Group had its first meeting early in 1952 which consisted of artist and sculptor Eduardo Paolozzi feeding a mass of colourful images from American magazines through an epidiascope.
