Ravi Shankar: Kinarra School of Indian Music [Los Angeles branch poster]&nbsp;Tom Wilkes, designerLos Angeles: Kinarra School of Indian Music, [1967]. Offset. 20 1/2 x 11 3/4 in. Pin holes on corners, light bumping to edges, else clean copy.Poster promoting Ravi Shankar’s Kinnara School of Indian Music, in Los Angeles.The poster was designed by noted album cover designer and Monterey Pop Festival art director Tom Wilkes. The poster notes ‘Instruction in Sitar-Tabla-Sarod-Flute’ and ‘Ravi Shankar Will Conduct General Music in Indian Music–Open To All Students’.In 1962, Ravi Shankar founded the Kinnara School of Music in Mumbai, India, with the aim of perpetuating the traditional guru-shishya method of Indian classical music education he had been taught by his own teacher, Allauddin Khan. Shankar’s growing influence in the West led to the opening of a second Kinnara branch in Los Angeles in May 1967. This new center aimed to share the sacred essence of Indian music with American audiences, and serve as a base for teaching the intricate techniques and philosophies of this ancient art form.At Kinnara, Shankar delegated much of the day-to-day teaching to trusted disciples, as his international concert schedule demanded much of his time. The school came to global prominence when Beatles guitarist George Harrison studied sitar under Shankar and Shambhu Das in Mumbai in late 1966. Harrison’s association with Shankar further amplified the appeal of Indian music in the West. In August 1967, Harrison joined Shankar at a press conference at the Los Angeles school, generating buzz for Shankar’s Hollywood Bowl performance. Other notable students of Kinnara included Robby Krieger and John Densmore of The Doors, Russ Titelman, and Colin Walcott. Footage of both the Mumbai and Los Angeles branches was featured in Howard Worth’s acclaimed 1971 documentary Raga.By 1969, disillusioned with the Los Angeles school, Shankar handed over its operations to his disciple Das Gupta. He continued to teach and inspire Western musicians through guest lectureships and academic positions, including roles at the City College of New York and UCLA. In 1970, Shankar was appointed chair of Indian music at the California Institute of the Arts, solidifying his impact on music education in the West.Condition as described in catalogue note.

Army of Lovers: A Controversial Account of Gay Liberation Struggles in the U.S.&nbsp;[San Francisco]: Other Cinema, 1979. Offset. 16 7/8 x 24 in. Very good.&nbsp;Poster promoting an Army of Lovers, a 1979 film by Rosa von Praunheim. Mostly shot in San Francisco, the film documents the wave of gay activism in the United States after the Stonewall riots in 1969 and before the onset of the AIDS epidemic.&nbsp;The film famously concerns the internal politics and fractures of the gay liberation movement, at first strengthened in a united front against the widespread homophobic Anita-Bryant-style hysteria, and then fractured into factions, self-interest groups, gay rights groups, anti-promiscuity activists, and so on.&nbsp;The film was distributed in the US by Other Cinema, an experimental film institution in San Francisco.Condition as described in catalogue note.

Night People&nbsp;New York: The Saint, 1987. Offset. 22 1/4 in. x 17 in. Lines from folding into eighths; otherwise, a very clean copy.&nbsp;Poster for a live performance by famed gay porn star Jeff Stryker at The Saint. In addition to his work as a porn star — John Waters called him “the Cary Grant of porno” — Stryker was a presence in the gay underground filmmaking scene, starring in German cult filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim’s Can I Be Your Bratwurst, Please? This performance was co-presented with Catalina Video, one of the premiere gay porn distributors.&nbsp;Located at 105 Second Avenue, the former premises of the Fillmore East, the club operated from 1980 to 1988. The first fully above-ground gay megaclub in New York, The Saint was at the confluence of several historical currents: the decadent maximalism of 1980s New York, the new gilded era wealth of the decade, and the shifting norms and discourses around gay sex and promiscuity caused by the AIDS crisis.&nbsp;The club commanded higher door and membership prices catering to an emerging affluent gay social class. At the same time, the government-sanctioned mass death event of the AIDS crisis devastated the club’s membership through the 1980s and the club instituted and enforced safe sex rules. The club's perforated planetarium dome above the dancefloor and 500-speaker, 26,000 watt Graebar sound system additionally made it one of the most cataclysmic A/V situations in the history of New York nightlife. Its closure in 1988, a year after Studio 54 and Paradise Garage, marked the end of an era of huge maximalist clubs in New York, built with the heaps of excess capital sloshing around and transforming the city in the 1980s.&nbsp;As the first fully above-ground, public gay and disco mega club, The Saint attracted public and official scrutiny. The owner of The Saint, Bruce Mailman, also owned the New St. Marks Baths, which, at the urging of Larry Kramer and other conservative elements, was closed by the city Health Department in 1985. The Saint closed in 1988 and Mailman died of an AIDS-related illness in 1994; the club and its promoters continued throwing parties under the name “The Saint at Large” into the present day.Condition as described in catalogue note.
