About:
The Gonightclubbing Archive is an unparalleled collection of 82 bands videotaped during 112 performances, as well as 27 on-camera interviews, video art installations and thousands of photographs and pages of ephemera that chronicle the era. It is housed at New York University’s Fales Library/Downtown collection.
Pat Ivers and Emily Armstrong began documenting punk music together in 1977. Shooting in clubs from CBGBs to Irving Plaza to Mudd Club, they amassed a huge body of work and produced a cable program, “Nightclubbing”, the first weekly tv show to feature bands like The Cramps, Richard Hell and the Vodoids and the Dead Kennedys. In 1980, they created the Video Lounge at Danceteria, a video installation that became a permanent feature at the club and pioneered the concept of the video DJ. They have screened their work in museums, independent cinemas and universities, nationally and internationally. In 2010, New York University, Fales Library /Downtown Collection acquired and digitally restored their archive, where it is available for study and research by scholars and interested parties.
