Alternative ’80s: Club 57 and New York’s Downtown Scene

In conjunction with Club 57: Film, Performance, and Art in the East Village, 1978–1983, Sunday Sessions presents a program of film, poetry, performances, discussion, and music rooted in the counterculture synonymous with downtown Manhattan in the 1970s and 1980s.

Reuniting artists who were part of Club 57 and New York’s Downtown community in the late ’70s and early ’80s, the program features live poetry organized by Bob Holman, poet and former host of the St Marks Poetry Project, (1978–84), and temporary installations and interventions from Man Parrish and Brant Kingman, alongside screenings and discussion focused on the legacy of club culture and alternative spaces. The event culminates with a live performance from Adele Bertei and a one-off concert from the iconic club band Strange Party.
