Red Gallery

1 Rivington Street

London, EC2A 3DT

A project collaboration between Tim Lawrence and Ernesto Leal (Red Gallery).

Tim Lawrence’s interconnected history of New York 1970-83—charted in Love Saves the Day: A History of American Dance Music Culture, 1970-79, Hold On to Your Dreams: Arthur Russel and the Downtown Music Scene 1973-92, and Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor, 1980-83—counters the neoliberal myth that the city needed austerity, corporate welfare, pumped-up bank loans and deregulation in order to avoid armageddon.
