  • THE BRILL BUILDING, 1619 Broadway (Aka 1613-23 Broadway, 207-213 West 49Th Street), Manhattan Built 1930-31; Architect, Victor A
    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 23, 2010, Designation List 427 LP-2387 THE BRILL BUILDING, 1619 Broadway (aka 1613-23 Broadway, 207-213 West 49th Street), Manhattan Built 1930-31; architect, Victor A. Bark, Jr. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1021, Lot 19 On October 27, 2009 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Brill Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark site. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Three people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of the owner, New York State Assembly Member Richard N. Gottfried, and the Historic Districts Council. There were no speakers in opposition to designation.1 Summary Since its construction in 1930-31, the 11-story Brill Building has been synonymous with American music – from the last days of Tin Pan Alley to the emergence of rock and roll. Occupying the northwest corner of Broadway and West 49th Street, it was commissioned by real estate developer Abraham Lefcourt who briefly planned to erect the world’s tallest structure on the site, which was leased from the Brill Brothers, owners of a men’s clothing store. When Lefcourt failed to meet the terms of their agreement, the Brills foreclosed on the property and the name of the nearly-complete structure was changed from the Alan E. Lefcourt Building to the, arguably more melodious sounding, Brill Building. Designed in the Art Deco style by architect Victor A. Bark, Jr., the white brick elevations feature handsome terra-cotta reliefs, as well as two niches that prominently display stone and brass portrait busts that most likely portray the developer’s son, Alan, who died as the building was being planned.

  • Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager Opened Studio 54 40 Years Ago, and It Soon Became the Epicenter of New York City's Nightlife for Nearly Three Years
    Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager opened Studio 54 40 years ago, and it soon became the epicenter of New York City's nightlife for nearly three years. While it lasted, many photographers flocked to the bacchanal to capture the celebrities and other lucky denizens as they danced and snorted and frolicked under that iconic Man in the Moon with the coke spoon sculpture. One of the men on the scene was Gene Spatz, a pioneering paparazzo and street photographer who most people have never heard about. Unlike Ron Galella's work – which has been exhibited and is collected as fine art – after Spatz died in 2003 the archive of images was inherited by his younger sister, Amy Lowen, and packed away in filing cabinets in her Kentucky home. She avoided the task of assessing what she had in her possession for nearly a decade until she began to unearth her brother's forgotten treasures. "While he was working in the late Seventies, I had gotten married, moved to Louisville, Kentucky, and wasn't a part of Gene's day-to-day life," Lowen tells Rolling Stone. "It wasn't until he was gone, and I had brought everything home and put it in storage, that I began to open up these envelopes and discover his work." The black-and-white photographs included scenes from iconic clubs like Studio 54 and Xenon; shots of Carrie Fisher, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Mary Tyler Moore and Robert Redford; as well quirky New York City street life tableaus in the 1970s and Eighties. Lowen recognized some of the celebrities in the photos, but she wasn't sure what exactly her brother's archives contained – or its value to the world.

    DEMOCRACY A New Miami Club Celebrates ON THE DANCE FLOOR the Golden Days of Disco By: David Barbour Step into Miami’s newest club and you step into another era. On the site of the former Crobar, one of the city’s longest-running hotspots, now springs Cameo Theatre, a piece of high-drama design that evokes Studio 54 and the Palladium in the days of Andy, Halston, arid Liza. It’s a bril- liant throwback based on an entirely different idea of the disco as a meeting place for all levels of society, a meritoc- racy based on talent, looks, and the appetite for fun. One look at the dance floor is all you need: The dangling glitter balls, the faux-Warhol murals of Marilyn Monroe, the sleek red curved seating, the light poles, the DJ booth made of a 10’ tall mirrorball cracked open like an Easter egg–all these details add up to a faithful rendition of nightlife glamour, circa 1978. At the same time, this is no theme-park version of clubbing–it’s an articulation of what was best about that time and place, placed in a 21st-cen- tury context. Cameo Theatre is the brainchild of Callin Fortis, former club owner and designer (his firm is Big Time De- sign Studios), and, with his business partner, Ken Smith, the force behind the Crobar clubs in Chicago, New York, and Miami. Crobar Miami was installed in a former movie house known as the Cameo Theatre. “The building was built in 1933,” says Fortis. “It was a really delicate job to redo it into Crobar, because it’s an historic building, and the gesture of the theatre, with its proscenium arch, had to be kept.” When the reign of Crobar came to an end, “the key was to erase people’s memories of the Cameo,” says Fortis.

Brooklyn Dorado Museum, , Brooklyn Studio 54: Night Magic, the First Exhibition to Explore the Trailblazing Aesthetics and Continuing Impact of New York City’s Legendary Nightclub, on View through November 8 Highlighting the revolutionary creativity, expressive freedom, and sexual liberation celebrated at the world-renowned nightclub, the exhibition will present over 650 objects ranging from fashion, photography, drawings, and film to stage sets and music Following the Vietnam War, and amid the nationwide Civil Rights Movement and fights for LGBTQ+ and women’s rights, a nearly bankrupted New York City hungered for social and creative transformation as well as a sense of joyous celebration after years of protest and upheaval. Low rents attracted a diverse group of artists, fashion designers, writers, and musicians to the city, fostering cultural change and the invention of new art forms, including musical genres such as punk, hip-hop, and disco. In a rare societal shift, people from different sexual, sociopolitical, and financial strata intermingled freely in the after-hours nightclubs of New York City. No place exemplified this more than Studio 54. Though it was open for only three years—from April 26, 1977, to February 2, 1980—Studio 54 was arguably the most iconic nightclub to emerge in the twentieth century. Set in a former opera house in Midtown Manhattan, with the stage innovatively re-envisioned as a dance floor, Studio 54 became a space of sexual, gender, and creative liberation, where every patron could feel like a star.

  • Looks: Studio 54 and the Production of Fabulous Nightlife
    Looks: Studio 54 and the Production of Fabulous Nightlife Feature Article madison moore University of Richmond (United States) Abstract This article combines my experience as a party-host and nightlife-creator with a close reading of Studio 54 as a theatrical production. I call for a consideration of how the staging of nightlife functions as an art form, relying on the dual practices of creation and curation. I provide a close reading of the tightly-staged Studio 54 experience, focusing on the club’s infamously tight door policy and production of fabulousness to reveal what scholars and ethnographers of nightlife can learn from approaching nightlife as an artistic production. This approach can also inform a nightlife-focused research agenda. Keywords: Studio 54; fashion; nightlife; Andy Warhol; relational aesthetics; ethnography; velvet rope; disco; New York madison moore is a Staff Writer at Thought Catalog and a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Theater and Dance at the University of Richmond.
