<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>A unique and original collection of flyers, exclusive invitations and rare memberships to legendary clubs and events. A fascinating insight into a socio-cultural phenomenon that changed music, the law drug culture, dance, fashion, design.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>In the mid- to late 1980s, rave culture developed. It influenced music, design, art, drugs, fashion, language and even the law. </b>Originally emerging in the USA, it was refined in the UK by people who wanted to dance, party and express themselves in terms of art and music. It started in in small, sweaty clubs but such was the popularity that soon enormous Raves, with tens of thousands of people, were common.</p> <p>'House' music and illegal drug ecstasy were the driving forces behind what turned into a global phenomenon. Events that started as secretive nights in underground clubs, with word-of-mouth advertising grew from one-off take-overs of unusual venues into huge open land-based events. Pager and telephonic communication became the medium of message-passing, and flyers were key to it all: informing the right people about the right place at the right time. Chelsea Berlin was there from the beginning, attending many of the now legendary events, from Club Shoom to Energy and beyond.</p> <p>In <i>Rave Art</i>, the whole exciting movement is documented through the flyers that were handed out freely (often privately) to inform partygoers of the next venue. Flyer design became an artform, and this book contains hundreds of the most significant and rare examples from Chelsea's huge collection.</p> <p>Together with personal reminiscences and quotes from famous, infamous and not-so-famous attendees, <i>Rave Art</i> paints a vivid picture of what is probably the last significant youth culture movement of modern times.</p>
