Ann Magnuson, who managed the club and hosted events, described it as home to "pointy-toed hipsters, girls in rockabilly petticoats, spandex pants, and thrift-store stiletto heels...suburban refugees who had run away from home to find a new family...who liked the things we liked - Devo, Duchamp, and William S. Burroughs - and (more important) hated the things we hated - disco, Diane von Fürstenberg, and The Waltons."〔Ann Magunson, "The East Village 1979-1989 A CHRONOLOGY: ANN MAGNUSON ON Club 57", ''Artforum'', Oct, 1999. (full text ).〕 Magnuson describes a "Punk Do-It-Yourself aesthetic" which inspired events such as: *A theatrical remake of "The Bad Seed" by andy rees *Erotic Day-Glo art shows *Theme parties (or "enviroteques") *Putt-Putt Reggae Night (miniature golf played on a course made of refrigerator boxes designed to resemble a Jamaican shantytown) *Model World of Glue Night (New York's hippest built airplane and monster models, burned them, and sniffed the epoxy)〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Club 57」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
