À propos de ce contenu audio
"I loved this book.… A revelatory perspective on a formidable artistic movement whose history has been left to a handful of (male) gatekeepers."—Tanya Pearson, author of Pretend We’re Dead
"A riveting and beautiful account."—Thurston Moore
An intimate insider's account of New York's most radical cultural revolution and the women who obliterated every barrier in their path
In 1975 a young queer singer from Cleveland meets Nan Goldin and joins her in New York's bombed-out downtown, where something unprecedented is brewing. At Max's Kansas City and CBGBs, in derelict lofts and underground clubs, a generation of visionary women artists is rewriting the rules of creativity, sexuality, and power.
Adele Bertei didn't just witness the No Wave explosion—she ignited it. As acetone organist for the Contortions and Brian Eno's assistant, she was at the epicenter when punk collided with post-punk, when Lydia Lunch screamed her first songs, when Kathy Acker was penning her transgressive novels, when Kathryn Bigelow was making her first films.
No New York reveals the untold story of the boundary-pushing women who made No Wave possible: Nan Goldin capturing flash-lit portraits of gender fluidity, Barbara Kruger deconstructing media, Kiki Smith exploring the body's mysteries, Lizzie Borden challenging cinema itself. While mainstream culture wallowed in sexism and homophobia, these artists created something fluid, fierce, and transgressive.
Raw and gripping, No New York takes readers deep into the artistic and sexual experimentation of an era when everyone read Jean Genet, quoted Antonin Artaud, and believed true expression mattered more than money or fame.
Includes 55 rarely seen images of iconic musicians and artists that capture the look and feel of the era. Images are from Bertei's personal collection as well as well-known artists and photographers like Nan Goldin, Richard Prince, Vivienne Dick, Michael Granros, Marcia Resnick, and Julia Gorton.

Commentaires
“An eccentric and energetic tour through a vibrant chapter of New York City music history.”
—Publishers Weekly
“No New York is an utterly compulsive and passionate memoir of this mythic epoch where the true runaways and renegades of ground-zero punk colluded, communed, and conspired. A riveting and beautiful account, both radical and reflective, ultimately acknowledging the holistic power of faith to light the way forward.”
—Thurston Moore
“A queer survivor’s tale: Adele Bertei reveals a lost Manhattan full of creativity, space, and danger.”
—Jon Savage, author of England’s Dreaming: The Sex Pistols and Punk Rock
“An elegant and incisive chronicle of collisions and encounters with every meaningful artist and musician in 1970s No Wave New York.”
—Viv Albertine, member of the Slits and author of Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys
“Adele Bertei rips up the history of No Wave and starts again, recentering the women: fearless artists and confrontational performers who put body and psyche on the line. Written with feral elegance and a cinematic eye, this mash-up of memoir and cultural history feels like time travel: an entire era of the New York underground brought back to vivid life.”
—Simon Reynolds, author of Still in a Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock, 1984-94
“I loved this book. Part memoir, part cultural and musical biography, No New York offers a revelatory perspective on a formidable artistic movement whose history has been left to a handful of (male) gatekeepers. Adele Bertei paints an honest, unflinching portrait of New York and the No Wave scene in the ’70s, and its eventual demise at the hands of the AIDS epidemic, gentrification, drug addiction, and a parasitic music industry.”
—Tanya Pearson, author of Pretend We’re Dead: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Women in Rock in the ’90s
“A taut, streetwise memoir of the downtown New York music and art scene that wealth and gentrification destroyed.”
—Neil Tennant, member of the Pet Shop Boys and author of One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem
“No New York is an important document about a criminally overlooked aspect of art history. This book sets the record straight and illuminates the power, glory, and atomic energy that was No Wave. It is a direct account from someone who was at the epicenter of the movement and is a story that is perhaps more relevant and necessary at our present moment in time. It’s also a page-turning, thrill-ride New York story, and right up my alley.”
