Forty years ago, dirt-cheap rents
and an edgy vibe lured arty types to swarm downtown venues like CBGB’s and the
Mudd Club. One such place was Club 57 on St. Marks Place, which hosted evenings
like the "Monster Movie Club" and "Name That Noise: A Punk Rock
Game Show," and attracted artists and performers such as Keith Haring,
Kenny Scharf, John Sex and Ann Magnuson. The scrappy venue is now the subject
of this MoMA retrospective, which looks back to a moment when New York was
dirtier and more dangerous—but also more alive with creative possibilities.
