The beloved art deco pub in Surry Hills has opened the untouched apartment above to showcase work from more than 100 artists – and offer a rare glimpse into old Sydney
– between the boutique hotels, “contemporary office spaces” in converted warehouses, the assisted living facility and the fancy cocktail bars – sits the Hotel Hollywood. “Everyone has a story about the Hollywood,” says Rupert McEvoy, one of three curators behind a chaotic group show opening above the pub on Friday.
The back room, formerly the ladies’ bar, is now lined with Goddard’s souvenirs: a letter to Gough Whitlam; glamour shots from her cabaret and cameos; strongly worded missives to lawyers ; a stack of passports; bundles of cross-continental love letters from different addresses. Scattered through the apartment, you’ll see work from artists Reg Mombassa, Susan O’Doherty, Louise Tuckwell, Ken Done and Graeme Davey – whose archival Triple J “exploding head” artwork from the 90s is part of the show on a strict loan.Photograph: Blake Sharp-Wiggins/The Guardian
