1961 is primarily an address for art. Housed in a 1960’s style villa which was formerly a private home turned into a local karaoke bar and then now being resurrected into a creative complex comprising of a series of galleries, artists’ and designers’ studios, dining & shopping destinations including an eight-room “creative hotel”, 1961 came to us as an inspiration to the “nowness” of how we all imagined the future to be in the sixties. The decade of revolutions in art, fashion, architecture, politics, and music, the 60’s was also Cambodia’s golden age. 1961 will partially open on January 2011, the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of John F. Kennedy and the year King Norodom Sihanouk abdicated his throne to become the kingdom’s head of state. |
