Museum of the Night

The world of avant-garde theater and cinema in early 1970s New York was a rich cauldron of brave experimentation and creativity—the time of legends like Jack Smith, Jonas Mekas, David Johansen, and Warhol superstar Mario Montez. It was also the time of Theater of the Ridiculous, a theatrical genre that was particularly well-documented by Argentine photographer Leandro Katz. Museum of the Night introduces contemporary audiences to this side of ’70s New York through Katz’s eyes and experience.
