- Notes:
- "The initial body of this work was presented in the Lisson Gallery exhibition of 1982, Inside the Night. 'This work concerned one manifestation of those private clubs: an extreme rejection of society's values, an alienation from its idealisations, that found expression in non-conformity and through the display of aggressively tangential codes of dress and behaviour.' ... Each thick page spread gives the left hand, white side of the book as the normal and boring world of the day and the right hand, black side of the book as the freer night world and focuses on the thoughts and lives of the two people who organised the Cha Cha Club--Michael and Scarlett. Michael and Scarlett worked with Willats on the book through interviews and photographs of objects from their daytime surroundings and of people in the club. Quotes from the interviews are on each page alongside photographs of objects from their daytime lives and of people who went to the club."--Artist's website.
Produced at the same time as the exhibition 'Inside the Night' at the Lisson Gallery, which presented four works made by 'members' of four clubs: the Cha Cha Club, the Anarchy Centre, Model Dwellings and a futurist women's club.
