Skickas
A must-have for punk rockers, art historians, and all music and art lovers in between. The definitive collection of Raymond Pettibon’s album covers, uniting art and music in one powerful visual history. Featuring work for Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, Iggy Pop, Lana Del Rey, and many others, this volume traces the artist’s bold influence on alternative culture from the late 1970s to today.Throughout his decades-long career, Raymond Pettibon has remained deeply engaged with the world around him, whether through biting political satire of American geopolitics or poetic meditations on surfing and baseball. Pettibon’s aesthetic and political sensibilities originated in the punk scene that thrived in Southern California, the artist’s first home, in the late 1970s and 1980s—evidenced in his collaborations with bands such as the Minutemen, Sonic Youth, and Saccharine Trust. Among the most iconic works featured in this collection is Pettibon’s four-column logo design for Black Flag. His distinctive artwork appears on albums for a wide range of legendary musicians, including Iggy Pop, Foo Fighters, and Lana Del Rey, among many others.Nervous Breakdown spotlights the artist’s enduring impact on the music industry, presenting for the first time every record, CD, and cassette cover since 1978 that features his artwork. Published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum in Ludwigshafen, Germany, this catalogue features more than two hundred works from the Stefan Thull Collection. With essays by Max Dax, Robert Eikmeyer, and Ulrich Loock, and a 1985 Artforum essay by Kim Gordon, the book includes a catalogue raisonné of Pettibon’s album artwork, an essential resource for fans, scholars, and collectors of contemporary art and music history alike.

Kim Gordon, founding member of Sonic Youth, fashion icon, and role model for a generation of women, now tells her story—a memoir of life as an artist, of music, marriage, motherhood, independence, and as one of the first women of rock and roll, written with the lyricism and haunting beauty of Patti Smith''s Just Kids.
Often described as aloof, Kim Gordon opens up as never before in Girl in a Band. Telling the story of her family, growing up in California in the ''60s and ''70s, her life in visual art, her move to New York City, the men in her life, her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, her music, and her band, Girl in a Band is a rich and beautifully written memoir.
Gordon takes us back to the lost New York of the 1980s and ''90s that gave rise to Sonic Youth, and the Alternative revolution in popular music. The band helped build a vocabulary of music—paving the way for Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and many other acts. But at its core, Girl in a Band examines the route from girl to woman in uncharted territory, music, art career, what partnership means—and what happens when that identity dissolves.
Evocative and edgy, filled with the sights and sounds of a changing world and a transformative life, Girl in a Band is the fascinating chronicle of a remarkable journey and an extraordinary artist.

This Woman's Work: Essays on Music is edited by Kim Gordon and Sinéad Gleeson and features contributors Anne Enright, Fatima Bhutto, Jenn Pelly, Rachel Kushner, Juliana Huxtable, Leslie Jamison, Liz Pelly, Maggie Nelson, Margo Jefferson, Megan Jasper, Ottessa Moshfegh, Simone White, Yiyun Li and Zakia Sewell.Published to challenge the historic narrative of music and music writing being written by men, for men, This Woman's Work seeks to confront the male dominance and sexism that have been hard-coded in the canons of music, literature, and film and has forced women to fight pigeon-holing or being side-lined by carving out their own space. Women have to speak up, to shout louder to tell their story - like the auteurs and ground-breakers featured in this collection, including: Anne Enright on Laurie Anderson; Megan Jasper on her ground-breaking work with Sub Pop; Margo Jefferson on Bud Powell and Ella Fitzgerald; and Fatima Bhutto on music and dictatorship.This Woman's Work also features writing on the experimentalists, women who blended music and activism, the genre-breakers, the vocal auteurs; stories of lost homelands and friends; of propaganda and dictatorships, the women of folk and country, the racialised tropes of jazz, the music of Trap and Carriacou; of mixtapes and violin lessons.

Kim Gordon, Indie-Ikone, Bassistin und Sängerin der legendären Sonic Youth, über ein Leben für die KunstSonic Youth war eine der einflussreichsten Alternative-Bands der 1980er- und 1990er-Jahre und Kim Gordon ihr heimlicher Star. Als Bassistin, Sängerin und Songwriterin der Band war sie Vorbild für eine ganze Generation von Frauen. Jetzt erzählt sie ihre Geschichte.Ihre Musik, die sich im Grenzland von Punk, No Wave und Noise-Rock austobte, war nicht zu überhören. Als Kim Gordon und Thurston Moore 1981 in New York die Band Sonic Youth gründeten, lag die Stadt finanziell am Boden, die Kunstszene in den Clubs aber blühte. Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins – für diese und viele andere Bands waren Sonic Youth wichtige Wegbereiter, ihr Einfluss auf die Independent-Szene ist kaum zu überschätzen. Fans und Kritiker lieben die Band für ihren unverwechselbaren Sound und ihre absolute künstlerische Integrität. Kim Gordon und Thurston Moore galten lange Zeit als das Traumpaar des Rock''n''Roll, sie haben eine gemeinsame Tochter. 2011 trennten sich die beiden nach 27-jähriger Ehe und Sonic Youth löste sich auf. Kim Gordon erzählt in ihrem Buch von den Anfängen im New York der frühen Achtzigerjahre, von ihrem Leben als Musikerin, bildende Künstlerin, Modedesignerin und wie das zusammenging mit ihrer Rolle als Ehefrau und Mutter – und vom Schmerz einer Trennung nach fast 30 Jahren Ehe und künstlerischer Zusammenarbeit.

The tract developments are emulations of utopian communities. Going back to the 1920’s utopian cult Kibbo Kift made banners that they took to specific locations of historic, mysterious monuments and natural monument occurances, Silbury Hill, Stonehenge. The real estate developments around Los Angeles are not mysterious but can be branded as such. An escape from the city life, with names that connote a natural preserve, such as Hidden Hills, Golden Valley, Garden Paradise Estates. Even though they all reside within the smog polluted skies that everyone in the Los Angeles basin does, they poke the desire for utopian living in nature, a simpler time. How to forget about technology, automation and the consequences of our hyper technological age. The signage is placed outside the entrance like the banners of Kibbo Kift, which they would make and bring ceremoniously to these natural or historic places. If one meditates on it maybe it will become real, transposing the desire for escape and living unfettered in paradise, “getting back to the garden. ” as Joni Mitchell would say. Kim GordonChronicles Vol. 3 combines Kim Gordon's Real Estate Paintings with staged canvases photographed by Josephine Pryde in vacant apartments and offices in and around Kriens and Lucerne. The photos, which were taken using purely analog technology, create a disturbing and enraptured atmosphere. Kim Gordon is an American musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the bassist, guitarist, and vocalist of Sonic Youth. In addition to her work as a musician, Gordon has had ventures in record producing, fashion (X-Girl), writing, acting, directing and has worked consistently as a visual artist throughout her musical career. She formed Sonic Youth with Thurston Moore, Lee Renaldo and Richard Edson in 1981. Gordon is also a founding member of the musical project Free Kitten, which she formed with Julia Cafritz in 1993. Josephine Pryde lives and works in London and Berlin. Her photographs and sculptures reactivate techniques and concepts from a variety of sources – including fashion photography, the natural sciences and fine art printing – and function in a more or less close combination with the specific surroundings and their attendant relationships. Josephine Pryde has exhibited internationally, she was a nominee for the Turner Prize in 2016. Pryde’s work can be found in public collections including The British Council, Museum of Modern Art in New York, Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

Throughout the 1980s and early '90s, Kim Gordon—widely known as a founding member of the influential band Sonic Youth—produced a series of writings on art and music. Ranging from neo-Conceptual artworks to broader forms of cultural criticism, these rare texts are brought together in this volume for the first time, placing Gordon's writing within the context of the artist-critics of her generation, including Mike Kelley, John Miller, and Dan Graham. In addressing key stakes within contemporary art, architecture, music, and the performance of male and female gender roles, Gordon provides a prescient analysis of such figures as Kelley, Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham, Tony Oursler, and Raymond Pettibon, in addition to reflecting on her own position as a woman on stage. The result—Is It My Body?—is a collection that feels as timely now as when it was written. This volume additionally features a conversation between Gordon and Jutta Koether, in which they discuss their collaborations in art, music, and performance.

Kim Gordon dio a luz a principios de los 80, junto con el que sería su marido, Thurston Moore, y el guitarrista Lee Ranaldo, a uno de los grupos más innovadores, influyentes y prolíficos de la escena musical independiente norteamericana, Sonic Youth. "La chica del grupo" es el relato en primera persona de uno de los grandes iconos femeninos del rock, una mujer que, como Patti Smith, Janis Joplin o Marianne Faithfull, supo encontrar su lugar en un mundo fundamentalmente masculino y, a menudo, sexista. Dotada de un singular talento e inquietud para lo creativo desde su temprana juventud, Kim Gordon narra en estas apasionantes memorias el devenir de una vida dedicada a la música, al arte —su obra artística, entre la pintura y la instalación, ha sido expuesta en relevantes galerías—, la moda —fue una de las creadoras de la marca X-Girl— y, en menor medida, la interpretación —ha trabajado como actriz a las órdenes de directores como Gus Van Sant, Olivier Assayas o Todd Haynes—, pero también su fecunda historia de amor con Thurston Moore. Sin embargo, la que fuera una de las parejas del rock más longevas y creativas se disolvió tras veintisiete años de matrimonio, poniendo también punto y final a la trayectoria de un grupo que marcó un antes y un después en la música alternativa de los 80 y los 90. Gordon relata con una angustia aún latente cuando descubrió que su marido la engañaba con otra mujer y cómo, después de una retahíla de engaños y mentiras, decidió separarse de él definitivamente.Kim Gordon también rememora la electrizante escena musical y artística de Nueva York y algunas de las canciones más celebradas y perdurables de Sonic Youth como "Death Valley ''69", "Schizophrenia" o "Kool Thing", y recuerda con especial cariño su cálida amistad con Kurt Cobain, el líder de Nirvana.
