Archivo is a series of publications by Never Sleep focused on exploring archiving practices by displaying private collections of visual artifacts, memorabilia, audio memories, and collecting garments and graphic curiosities.

The second issue, curated by Gabber Eleganza, collecting and scanning Italian discos logos and stickers, graphics curiosity and illustration ephemera from the golden age of Italian discos. The selection of logos, drawn from the artist’s private archive, is a visual testimony of a unique and unrepeatable Italian historical moment—from brutalist provincial discos to the trendy circuits of big Italian cities of the post economic boom. More than 8,000 discos were surveyed during the mid-1980s in a nation always on the move, in constant search of revelry. Looking for La Grande Baldoria.

The publication includes text by Mauro Simonato about one of the first club-focused subcultural phenomenon of the baiosi and later afro-cosmic movement, and a text by Michele Galluzzo with reference to the visual identities and the graphics inspirations during that era.
