Rave art. The flyers that defined an era.
Those were the days of sweat. The acid house years when the flyer was morphing the rave aesthetic into something that would be an invitation to a neon universe. Although some flyer designers gained some respect and money, most of them remain anonymous. In the oblivion of history that rave actually is today. What came first? The music or the poster? The letter or the note? Assembled and edited by Chelsea Louise Berlin, a raver since forever, Rave Art is her collection of rave ephemera. Being there from the beginning, attending many of the now legendary events, from Club Shoom to Energy and beyond, Chelsea's treasure of art and memories is gracefully handed over to us. Rave Art documents carefully and puts in the exact social context the circus of life that once rave was. Rave Art paints a vivid picture of what is probably the last significant youth culture movement of modern times so grab a copy of your sweaty days now.
