“The City Is A Garden,” a solo exhibition of new work by Kim Gordon (founding member, Sonic Youth), is having its opening reception tonight at 303 Gallery. Here’s a partial description of her exhibition and creative process from the gallery’s press release: “Using a variety of methods to work on canvas, Gordon utilizes direct application of paints, resins, glitters and fiberglas, as well as physical manipulation of the canvas and a playful irreverence in its presentation. Paintings are crumpled, overturned and flung; battle scars from past performances become gestural abstraction. A black and white banner photo of Kim in the studio – mid-painting, mid-performance – hangs over the exhibition, dramatizing the big reveal.”
From her storied career as a musician to her striking work as a visual artist, Gordon has proven time and again the depth of her powerful, multifaceted vision. Come and check out the output of wildly talented and restless mind.
303 Gallery is located at 303 Gallery, 507 West 24 Street. The opening reception starts at 6pm. More info here.
