Silver Lake’s “Bates Motel” — The complete transformation of the dilapidated Sunset Pacific Motel (Bates Motel) into a conceptual art piece is in process as a French artist, Vincent Lamouroux sprays the entire building – as well as the adjacent palm trees and billboard – in a thick coat of opaque limewash. Projection, which is described as a “temporal intervention into an iconic piece of LA’s architectural history and urban lore,” will last two weeks, with an opening date scheduled for April 26. The two-week long project was conceived by Vincent Lamouroux, who used a similar concept in a Paris park where a grouping of The owners of the three-story motel at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Bates Street plan to follow up the art exhibit by demolishing the structure to make way for one of three apartment towers. But an official for the developer said they have given Lamoruoux permission to use the property as an art project as long as the necessary permits are obtained. What’s the point of Projection? Says the press release: Just as the Silver Lake neighborhood itself has transformed radically in recent years, an continues to evolve, so to will the artist’s iteration of the motel embody a transformation, surrendering and passage; the white surface of its facade will be a symbolic invitation to project our ideas about both its mythic past and its indeterminate future. The limewash is described as an “ecologically safe” material that will eventually erode and fade away. You can check out Vincent Lamouroux’ recent work here ...

After a five-year restoration, the city-owned house reopened just last month for a full 24 hours of tours, as Friday the 13 turned into Valentine’s Day, and “as many as a thousand people at a time” lined up to get inside,reports the LA Times. The line started forming around 2 pm, hours before opening, and stayed long all night, with crowds coming through even in the small hours (and everyone allowed to take pictures just this once). Here’s a look at all those devotees, in roughly chronological order, and you can take our virtual tour of the early-1920s Hollyhock right over here. The house will be open Thursdays through Sundays from 11 am to 4 pm from now on, with a $7 free for adults....
