Kim Gordon, the co-founder of Sonic Youth, is currently the subject of two major exhibitions at Amant in Brooklyn. The first, a solo survey titled "Count Your Chickens," showcases two decades of her multidisciplinary practice including painting, ceramics, and film, while the second, "Folded Group," is a group show she co-curated with Bill Nace featuring artists who bridge the gap between music and visual art.
This spotlight on Gordon’s visual output reinforces her long-standing identity as an artist who predates her musical fame. By examining the intersection of the art and music worlds, the exhibitions and accompanying dialogue highlight how contemporary creators are increasingly resisting traditional categorization and utilizing digital platforms to redefine the dissemination of their work.
