The history
DISBAND was a big hit in feminist art circles. In 1980, we were invited to perform at the newly inaugurated Feminist Art Institute on Spring Street, and Lucy Lippard invited us to entertain guests at her 40th birthday party. Also in 1980, we were invited to perform in Italy as part of a performance art festival that included Laurie Anderson, Chris Burden, Julia Heyward, Paul McCarthy, and Richard Newton.
