{The City} Nightclubbing by wowe

I thought it would be fun to start a new feature called {The City} that shows a little of what I am doing, eating, and seeing in New York. Enjoy!

I recently went to see Nightclubbing: New York Nightlife in the 80s by German photographer, Wolfgang Wesener, a.k.a woweNightclubbing is a series of black and white photographs that were taken of celebrities, artists, musicians, etc, in New York City clubs. Subjects include but are not limited to: Madonna, Andy Warhol, Miles Davis, Brooke Shields, John and Joan Cusack, and Matt Dillon. Each captivating portrait is a flashback to the 80s with their fantastic clothes and hairstyles. I really loved seeing this exhibit. I don’t really remember much about the 80s as I was quite young so it was pretty fascinating to see such an intriguing vignette of New York’s social scene. I hope anyone who can see the show will take the opportunity to do so. My personal favorite is of David Bowie…

The show runs until April 16th and is located at the Leica Gallery. I’d recommend it!

    I love this new feature idea. It will be fun to learn more about “the city.”

  2. Wow. This looks amazing. I feel like much of the ’80s underground scene has been hidden from view. To see these photographs-especially in the time they were taken-will be a real glimpse into the past. Thanks for sharing.. great idea for a new feature, by the way!
