Not Nothing: The Remains of No Wave, Three Decades Later

The five-night music festival in May 1978 at the legendary gallery and performance venue Artists Space, at 105 Hudson Street in Tribeca, had

The five-night music festival in May 1978 at the legendary gallery and performance venue Artists Space, at 105 Hudson Street in Tribeca, had no title. The flyers on the fences around vacant lots in Lower Manhattan said only “BANDS” with a lineup: Terminal, Gynecologists, Theoretical Girls, Daily Life, Tone Death, Contortions, DNA, Mars, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. In the audience were The Village Voice’s Robert Christgau, John Rockwell from The New York Times and Brian Eno, in town to produce the Talking Heads’ second album. The Contortions’ set on Friday night was halted when James Chance, the group’s singer, and Mr. Christgau got into a fistfight. Tickets cost $3.

The Artists Space festival was No Wave’s apogee. Theoretical Music: No Wave, New Music, and the New York Art Scene, 1978-1983, an awkwardly titled three-day event last week at Issue Project Room in Gowanus, organized by Branden Joseph and David Grubbs, was the latest in a series of critical reconsiderations of the movement. If punk was nihilism sprung from political and economic turmoil, No Wave rose from the ashes of such gloom, when even nihilism had expired. The style disregarded melody and tone in favor of rhythm and texture. Its influence remains in the sounds emanating from the ever healthy population of makeshift clubs in New York, but the movement was little more than a cultural blip in New York history: the brief harmony of music, visual art and film in downtown Manhattan, showcased nightly at New Cinema on Astor Place, at small venues like CBGB and quasi-legal spaces like the Mudd Club.

Oh yeah, and for anyone who may need it, here’s a list of gynecologists who will perform tubal sterilizations. It’s how I found the surgeon for mine.

So I’m an adult, but I’m terrified to go to the gynecologist. My gynecologist is a man, and last time I went since I turned 18 he did my pelvic exam instead of his female nurse practitioner and I cried for hours after. I felt so violated since I expected his np to do it. I don’t even want to try to find a female gynecologist, I’m too scared. Is this normal? Am I just being irrational? I have ongoing ovarian issues I really need to get checked out, but my fear is stopping me.

Unfortunately I knew what your situation was as soon as I read “my gynecologist is a man”. It is all too common for gyno men to be either creeps or insensitive with their patients.

Please remember this: you always have the right to have a woman perform your pelvic exam. I know doctors are busy and it’s difficult to get a word in, but it is absolutely in your power to request a man not do it. If there is no woman nurse or gyno in the building available to do it, it should not get done. In fact you’re supposed to be explicitly offered the option every time.

You’ve obviously been traumatized and some help from a therapist or support group would be prudent. Fear of future encounters is a very normal response to trauma. I’m sure you know intellectually that 99% of lady gynos will be understanding and gentle, but getting the brain to process the trauma and accept that fact is not so easily done. It takes time and effort but you can do it!

Thank you for trusting us with this traumatic experience of yours. I hope telling it was cathartic. Personally I hate when people are like “chop chop feel better already”, but please do try to get some help processing this so you can get your ovary issues checked out sometime relatively soon. That’s nothing to mess around with.
