The experiences of Club 57's director Stanley Strychacki, as recorded here, briefly describe many of the artworks and performances that were shown and created therein. But this is not the overriding purpose of the book. Works by the more renowned artists, such as Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat, are more fully explicated in art history books and museum and gallery catalogues.

Produktbeschreibung
The experiences of Club 57's director Stanley Strychacki, as recorded here, briefly describe many of the artworks and performances that were shown and created therein. But this is not the overriding purpose of the book. Works by the more renowned artists, such as Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf and Jean-Michel Basquiat, are more fully explicated in art history books and museum and gallery catalogues. But here, these and less celebrated works are interwoven with the circumstances of the club-how it came to be, how the participants interacted, and how the things that happened were able to happen. The last of these holds the biggest key. How was it that what appeared to be a punk rock club, filled with visually outrageous, verbally incitive and overtly sexually experimental young people, was allowed to operate for five years in the basement of a church! And how did the members come up with night after night of performances, art shows, film festivals, group activities and extensively casted productions - a new program nearly every night, and all this without any of the government-sponsored funding that is so bitterly and publicly fought over today.

Autorenporträt
Hi,

Welcome to New York City's East Village my home town. I want to show you all the places I experienced, my American adventure. I have published two books in my native homeland of Poland - "The Children of Gdansk" and "Grandma Helen's forget-me-nots." I wrote "Life as Art" in 1998 and decided now was the right time to publish it. Life has changed dramatically over the past 10 years in New York City and the entire world. I am happy to share my life and experiences in the East Village with you as it was 30 years ago. I hope this intimate memoir will touch you in some meaningful way, no matter your age place or society. When you've finished reading it, I invite you to join me for coffee and a lively discussion. It's on me. How do you take it?
