The Museum of Modern Art Announces CLUB 57: FILM, PERFORMANCE, AND ART IN THE EAST VILLAGE, 1978-1983
by Christina Mancuso - Nov 22, 2016


The Museum of Modern Art announces Club 57: Film, Performance, and Art in the East Village, 1978-1983, a major exhibition examining the scene-changing, interdisciplinary life of downtown New York's seminal alternative space, on view from October 31, 2017, through April 1, 2018, in the Roy and Niuta Titus Galleries. The East Village of the 1970s and 1980s continues to thrive in the public's imagination around the world. During the pioneering years of the neighborhood's evolution as a center of social life and creativity, Club 57 was a core institution. This exhibition will explore that legacy in full for the first time. Club 57 is organized by Ron Magliozzi, Curator, and Sophie Cavoulacos, Assistant Curator, Department of Film, with guest curator Ann Magnuson. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
