ABC No Rio Open Meeting Wednesday, May 8, 1985 Event Flyer

New York: ABC No Rio, Publisher, 1985. Unbound. Very Good. Item #022759

Single sheet, 14 ½ by 8 ½ inches. Printed on a single side only. Unattributed art adorns most of the flyer. A flyer announcing a meeting at the noted artist and performance venue, ABC No Rio, where the summer scheduling would be discussed and proposals would be welcome. ABC No Rio originated with the 1980 Real Estate Show, a show documenting housing issues in New York City. It was shut down almost immediately, and artists reached a settlement with the city that they could occupy 156 Rivington Street. At this space many shows focusing on political themes such as war, drugs, homelessness, sex and other subjects have been staged. By the mid 1980s performance art began to flourish at the venue, with ABC No Rio then becoming an important place for punk and hardcore shows. It is still in operation today, after reaching agreements with NYC to purchase and renovate its building. VERY GOOD condition. Minor soiling, toning and wrinkling.

Price: $60.00
