We arrived on August the 7th, on my birthday. And this was the right city to celebrate it. 1984 was not like “1984”, but  the New York Avantgarde was searching for the New. New sounds like the ones of Dieter Meier’s YELLO hit the clubs. MADONNA still promised to get famous one day and STEVEN SPROUSE got broke for the first time. KEITH HARRING was doing his things on the subway empty posterstands. Graffity was everywhere. The EAST VILLAGE got to become the alternative area for people with great ideas and little budgets. The city was demanding like always. So we delivered our ideas to still its hunger.
