NO SLEEP

NOTE LIBRAIO

NO SLEEP is a visual history of the halcyon days of New York City club life as told through flyer art. Spanning the late 80s through the late 90s, when nightlife buzz travelled via flyers and word of mouth, NO SPLEEP features a collection of artwork from the personal archive of NYC DJs, promoters, club kids, nighlife impresarios, and the designers themselves. Club flyers, by design, were ephemeral objects distributed on street corners, outside of nightclubs and concert halls, in barbershops and retail shops, and were not intended to be preserved for posterity. through the 90s, they became both increasingly prevalent and more sophisticated as printing technology evolved. Overnight, however, with the advent of the internet, the flyer essentially disappeared, despite it being common at one time for promoters to print thousand of flyers for any given event. Recently, these have begun to become sought-after collectors items.
