No Sleep: NYC Nightlife Flyers 1988-1999 / Available at www.draw-down.com / A #visualhistory of the halcyon days of #NewYorkCity club life as told through flyer art. Spanning the late 80s through the late 90s, when #nightlife buzz travelled via flyers and word of mouth, No Sleep features a collection of artwork from the personal archives of New York City DJs, promoters, #clubkids, nightlife impresarios, and the artists themselves. Club flyers, by design, were ephemeral objects distributed on street corners, outside of #nightclubs and concert halls, in barbershops and retail shops, and were not intended to be preserved for posterity. Through the 90s, they became both increasingly prevalent and more sophisticated as printing technology evolved. Overnight, however, with the birth of the internet, the club flyer essentially disappeared, and despite it being common at one time for promoters to print thousands of flyers for any given event, they are now hard to come by.
