East Village USA revisits the sprawling, renegade art scene that flourished in the East Village during the 1980s. Representing traditional media such as painting, sculpture and photography, while emphasizing the film, music and performance of the period, the exhibition will contain works by more than fifty visual artists, as well as numerous films, videos, listening stations and documentary materials. Covering the stylistic gamut from graffiti and punk expressionism to Neo-Geo and appropriation, East Village USA also examines the key exhibition sites and events that shaped the neighborhood’s sensibility at the beginning of the 1980s: the Times Square Show, Colab, Fashion Moda, the Real Estate Show, Club 57, the Mudd Club and the Pyramid. Additional material will outline an historical context for the East Village as a cultural outpost, beginning with the Beat and co-op gallery scene of the 1950s, and continuing through the counter-cultural era as represented by the impact of the Fillmore East, La Mama, Anthology Film Archives, St. Marks Poetry Project and Millenium Cinema in the 1960s and 1970s. East Village USA is curated by Dan Cameron.
