LONG OUT OF PRINT, ABC NO RIO DINERO NOW ON-LINE
Thanks to Marc Miller, the long out print book ABC No Rio Dinero: Portrait of a Lower East Side Art Gallery is now online at Marc's website, http://98bowery.com
Published in 1985 and edited by Marc Miller and Alan Moore, one of No Rio's founders and a current Board Member, ABC No Rio Dinero has been a much cited primary source about the New York art scene of the 1980s.
With new layouts and color scans, the online version of ABC No Rio Dinero preserves the early history of a pioneer Lower East Side art space that was the unplanned progeny of the "Real Estate Show," an illegal exhibition in an abandoned, city-owned building squatted by artists on New Year's Eve 1980.
Compiling art and articles from the period, the book includes sections on Collaborative Projects Inc. (Colab), the Time Square Show, the South Bronx art space Fashion-Moda, Group Material, PADD, and East Village music and art in the 1980s. Amongst the featured artists and writers are young, up-and-comers of the 1980s like Kiki Smith, Tom Otterness, John Ahearn, Tim Rollins, Walter Robinson, and Jeffrey Deitch; the No Rio stalwarts Becky Howland, Bobby G, Peter Cramer and Jack Waters; photographers Martha Cooper, Lisa Kahane, and Tom Warren; established voices like Lucy Lippard; and a poetry section edited by Josh Gosciak that includes Amiri Baraka, Bob Holman and Miguel Pinero.
