This is the first ever American museum solo exhibition for the impressively multi-talented Kim Gordon — she’s a musician, singer, songwriter, visual artist and actress.

Celebrated for her work as a founding member of the experimental post-punk band Sonic Youth (1981-2011), Kim Gordon is a multi-disciplinary artist and thinker who has worked in fashion, publishing, film and music. In the 1980’s, it was through art that she found music, coming to Sonic Youth sideways from an early interest in art, aesthetics and performance.

Gordon cites pop art pioneer Andy Warhol (1928-1987) as one of her artistic influences, particularly the lo-fi aesthetic of Warhol’s studio  As such, she has composed a new score for Warhol’s 1963 silent film “Kiss.” The exhibition also features figure drawings and erotic sculptures, paring intimate works that compliment the elegance and intimacy of the film.
