Dancing Boys
Amos Lassen
Slava Mogutin was born in Siberia and exiled from Russia when he was 21 because of his queer activism and writings. Russia's loss was our gain. His beautiful photography of the New York City club world of the mid-1990's is what "NYC Go-Go" is about. This is a tribute to a period that was and Mogutin shows us the shrinking downtown gay club scene by taking us, through his photographs to the few remaining spots--Cock, Boysroom and Mr. Black. It is a world of decadence, populated by hustlers and go-go boys, "rough trade' with criminal pasts and guys that are gay for pay. Many of them are friends of the man with the camera. He gives us a raw style that is most definitely in your face. Downtown New York was like this before then mayor, Rudy Giuliani began his "Quality of Life" campaign and cleaned up the area. The photos are incredible.
The shots are not posed and we see pictures that are lewd and very erotic and that tease the viewer. The early photos lead to the full frontal nude photos in the nook.
Bruce Benderson, noted gay author contributes the introduction which is enlightening and clearly written. It and the photos give us a look at a world that many of us will never have the chance to know.
Summary of NYC Go-Go
Slava Mogutin, the notorious Russian dissident-turned-art-star and creator of the critically acclaimed Lost Boys (powerHouse Books, 2006), returns with his second monograph, NYC Go-Go, a tribute to the golden age of New York City nightlife.The once-glittering club world had all but disappeared by the time Mogutin arrived in America in the mid-1990s. Under Mayor Rudy Giuliani's controversial "Quality of Life" campaign, downtown clubs paid the ultimate price: owners were branded community pariahs and paid crippling fines for alleged disruptiveness, while others were prosecuted for criminal acts; many legendary night spots were wiped off the map altogether.
In his new book, Mogutin documents the ever-shrinking downtown gay scene, taking us inside remaining joints like the Cock, Boysroom, and Mr. Black. NYC Go-Go is a wild and raunchy journey into the decaying but utterly decadent underworld of hustlers and go-go boys. Some of them are "rough trade"-thugs with criminal pasts, busted for prostitution, drugs, or armed assault-while others are "gay for pay," married with kids and hustling for their families; most are Mogutin's friends. NYC Go-Go captures the spirit of a scene under fire with Mogutin's trademark raw, in-your-face style.
