Flyer promoting an exhibition and party at Danceteria conceived and organized by Rhonda Paster [Rhonda Corte]. For this exhibition, Paster commissioned 280 friends and artists to produce an artwork explaining why they no longer showed up at parties.

In the movie Make Me Famous, Paster explained that “after AIDS showed up everything changed and all the people I would see out at clubs, I was no longer seeing. When you would ask them where they had been, they would respond with ‘I don’t go out much anymore,’ and wham the idea for my party was born. Participants were required to submit a visual explanation in any medium they chose, which showed what was keeping them away. I took a polaroid of each person and displayed it with their art piece. It was such a great party and once again I had a stellar group of people who participated.”

Participating artists included Cookie Mueller, Vincent Gallo, Haoui Montaug, Joey Arias, Bone, Johnny Dynell, Lenny Kaye, Dianne Brill, Patricia Field, John Sex, Chris Romano, Alan Rosenberg, Anita Sarko, and Chi Chi Valenti.
