This unique, visually exciting look at the
evolution of nightclubs across America and
Europe since the 1960s reveals an unwavering
truth about club culture-the one constant is
change.
Opening with the psychedelic haunts of the 1960s New York pop art scene
and closing more than half a century later with the rise of post-club
happenings, "Temporary Pleasure" shows how nightlife spaces
have evolved to meet the needs of their generation, and how each
generation was seeking something a little different from the one before.
Each chapter focuses on a distinct phase and location: Italy's
politically radical clubs of the '60s; New York City's disco scene;
Detroit and Chicago's techno and house paradises; Ibiza's counterculture
communal retreats; Britain's rave culture; and Berlin's techno scene.
The clubs come to life in double-page spreads that feature specs and
detailed profiles. Author John Leo Gillen offers his take on various
important cultural, design, and architectural details, while numerous
photographs offer their own vibey stories. The book features interviews
with people who were involved in a number of the scenes included, from
NYC disco mainstay DJ Justin Strauss to Ben Kelly, architect of
Manchester's legendary venue The Haçienda. As the world emerges from its
Covid-induced isolation, this celebration of crowded rooms,
dance-worthy beats, and communal transcendence feels more important than
ever.
