"Gordon discusses her visual practice, her relationship to the art world and the music world, and what these two universes share and where they diverge. She reflects on album art as a curatorial act, on how the internet has transformed what it means to make and disseminate work, and how she has spent a career resisting every category people tried to put her in."
Kim Gordon, Sonic Youth co-founder and multidisciplinary artist, has spent four decades moving fluidly between music, visual art, writing, and curation. Her career encompasses a Grammy-nominated 2024 album, a published memoir, visual work exhibited at major institutions, and concurrent exhibitions at Amant featuring her survey and a co-curated group show. Gordon's practice deliberately blurs distinctions between artistic mediums and disciplines. She explores how album art functions as curatorial practice, examines the internet's impact on artistic creation and distribution, and reflects on her consistent resistance to categorical limitations imposed by both art and music worlds.
