Au Plan K - Joy Division & Post Punk at la Raffinerie du Plan K, Brussels, 1979-2009
A new crowdfunding campaign has started to release the book Au plan K. The book will contain memorable photos by Philippe Carly, including these from the memorable concert of Joy Division at Plank K in 1979/1980.
New York had CBGB, Paris had Les Bains Douches, Amsterdam had the Paradiso, Manchester had its Haçienda… And from 1979 to 1986 the Belgian capitol Brussels had Plan K, a wondrous “counter-cultural centre” housed in a former sugar refinery, and destination of choice for those seeking cutting edge music, avant-garde happenings, films, dancing, and industrial architecture.
The list of headline attractions at Plan K reads like a who’s who of post-punk. Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, William S. Burroughs, The Human League, Orange Juice, Josef K, Scritti Politti, James White, Tuxedomoon, Front 242, Bauhaus, The Slits and many more. Most of these legendary performances were documented by noted new wave photographer Philippe Carly, who has selected the best of his images for this rich and varied book, giving readers a unique opportunity to relive these moments as if they were standing in the front row.
Pride of place goes to all 56 images Philippe shot at two landmark shows by Joy Division at the venue on 14 October 1979 and 17 January 1980. However, he have scanned and carefully restored 300+ original negatives from more than 70 different performances at Plan K.
Whether you are interested in photography and design, or simply nostalgic about some of the greatest bands of the post-punk era, this book will be what your coffee table has always been waiting for.
