Boston?s Revolution Hotel Brings Back the Culture of Innovation and Rebellion
An art installation illuminates all the things you should thank Boston for, from telephones to basketballs, typewriters to Converse kicks.
In Boston, Massachusetts, Adam&Co. and LA-based artist Tristan Eaton pay tribute to the revolutionary spirit of Boston with their new project, The Revolution Hotel.
Located at the intersection of Berkeley and Appleton Streets in Boston?s South End, Revolution Hotel evokes Boston?s history within the American Revolution in 1775 through vibrant murals and bold-faced motivational slogans.
Artists Tristan Eaton and The Individuals Collective were invited to work with Adam&Co. on the artwork throughout the hotel. Eaton, a California-born graffiti artist, muralist, illustrator, and toy designer, has had works exhibited at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, and Museum of Modern Art in New York. A 65 ft. mural by Eaton?his first mural in Boston?commands the center of attention in the hotel?s lobby. The artist did the mural entirely freehand with spray paint. In vivid blacks, reds, and blue, he renders famous Bostonian figures throughout history and pop culture back to life.
Boston-based Individuals Collective agglomerated significant objects invented in Boston, such as microwaves, car parts, old computers, microchips, transmitters, telephones, Converse sneakers, basketballs, volleyballs, and typewriters, into a three story sculptural installation they call the “Innovation Tower.”
