Like Paris in the 1920s New York City in the 1960s was a cauldron of avant-garde ferment and artistic innovation. Boundaries were transgressed and new forms created. Drawing on interviews memoirs and the alternative press Everything Is Now chron­icles this collective drama as it was played out in coffeehouses bars lofts storefront theaters and ultimately the streets. The principals here are penniless filmmak­ers jazz musicians and performing poets as well as less classifiable artists. Most were outsiders at the time. They include Amiri Baraka Bob Dylan Allen Ginsberg Yayoi Kusama Yoko Ono Nam June Paik Carolee Schneemann Jack Smith Andy Warhol and many more. Some were associ­ated with specific movements (Avant Rock Destruction Art Fluxus Free Jazz Guerrilla Theater Happenings Mimeographed Zines Pop Art Protest-Folk Ridiculous Theater Stand-Up Poetry Underground Comix and Underground Movies). But there were also movements of one. Their art rooted in the detritus and excitement of urban life was taboo-breaking and confrontational. As J. Hoberman shows in this riveting his­tory these subcultures coalesced into a counterculture that changed the city the country and the world.
