James Kalm returns to the East Village for this tribute exhibition to the golden age of Downtown Grunge.  Between 1981 and 1987 the East Village was home to over eighty galleries, with its own night clubs, cabarets and Rock'n'Roll venues.  With its extravagantly decadent life style, this frenzied drug fueled scene was also the nexus of a flowering of gay liberation.  The onset of the AIDS epidemic, hit a broad swath of this community, and many succumbed.  In short order the entire milieu collapsed.  Featuring interviews with Robert Curcio and Rick Prol.
