The Ladies' Auxiliary Debutante Ball at Club 57 [poster]New York: Club 57, [1980]. Offset. 17 x 11 in. Line from folding into halves, light bumping and wear to edges; very clean example.Poster promoting a punk-ironic Debutante Ball at Club 57, New York City’s short-lived post-punk venue (1978–83) managed by Ann Magnuson, where music mixed with visual art, experimental film, performance and politics.The Ball was organized by the Ladies' Auxiliary, a feminist club within Club 57 made-up mostly by women artists, that organized all kind of fun events such as slumber parties (with ‘Go-Go Boys’ that included artists Kenny Scharf and John Sex), a team on Lady Wrestling nights, and special exhibitions of members’ artwork.A hub of New York’s ‘downtown scene’, Club 57 exemplified ways in which artists’ increasingly promiscuous experiments across media led them to abandon high-brow galleries and museums in favour of nightclubs, discos and bars. This tendency dovetailed with the practices of an emergent generation of feminist artists eager to both break out of the sexist art world and engage with popular culture and audiences.Condition as described in catalogue note.

Barbara Rubin; Gordon Ball, co-designerCaterpillar Changes [Filmmaker’s Cinematheque Calendar][New York]: Filmmaker’s Cinematheque, [1967]. Offset. 22 1/8 x 17 in. Light bumping and a few small closed tears on the top edge; image intact.Poster promoting Barbara Rubin's Caterpillar Changes festival at the Filmmaker’s Cinematheque, which featured films, art installations, music performances, and appearances by Andy Warhol, D.A. Pennebaker, Shirley Clarke, Jack Smith, Wee Gee, Gato Barbieri, John Cavanaugh, Harry Smith, Angus MacLise, the Free Spirits, Jonas Mekas and the Velvet Underground.In an article titled "More on the New Sensibilities in Cinema," Jonas Mekas wrote that "this show, to those few who saw it, and really saw it, provided an insight into the farthest out frontiersland of cinema and of vision. Really, the whole cinema as it is (or was) fell to pieces, and was hanging around the auditorium in shreds, like a leaf eaten out by worms. I said it was the product of Rubin’s imagination, but that shouldn’t be misunderstood: Her imagination is only part of our imagination. Rubin acted as an architect who was pulling out from our dreams the primordial shapes, shred by shred, recreating our own dreams in front of and around us. It was a visionary show and one that marks a very important direction in cinema."
