(aka Colab), the highly energetic gathering of young downtown New York City artists active from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s. Advocating a form of cultural activism that was purely artist-driven, the group created artworks, curated shows and engaged in discourse that responded to the political themes and predicaments of its time. With extensive documentation of the printed material and media steadily produced in the course of its collaborative undertakings, as well as many firsthand accounts, the book displays the diverse aesthetics and concerns of the group as it embarked on \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Real Estate Show\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Times Square Show\u003c\/span\u003e and other projects.\u003cbr\u003eEdited by Printed Matter’s former executive director Max Schumann, the full-color publication presents a detailed view of Colab―both through the work created and in the artists’ own voices―and represents the fullest account of Colab’s output to date.
