Rave on, with this fabulous collection of memorabilia from the extensive collection of Chelsea Louise Berlin, who lived the rave movement in its entirety.
Â
In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, rave exploded—and became a driving force that reverberates today in music, fashion, and art. Chelsea Louise Berlin was there from the start, attending legendary events from Club Shroom to Energy and beyond. She tells the story of rave through her personal collection of bright, incredible flyers, invitations, posters, and membership cards. Through these indelible artifacts, reminiscences, and quotes, she captures a world of warehouse takeovers, trippy lightshows, Ecstasy, and nonstop dancing. Rave Art paints a picture of what is probably the last significant unplugged youth subculture of modern times.
