Kim Gordon Sees You as Blobby Watercolor Stains
No point trying to argue against Sonic Youth’s cultural relevance as a band, but ArtInfo’s venerating hand job of an article is failing to convince me that Kim Gordon is an awesome artist.
Gordon’s got a book coming out with her art, literally described as some photo snaps, watercolor blobs on rice paper sprinkled with metal paint (that’s how she sees her audience) and “black acrylic scrawls on white canvases” of band names… really.
Apparently, all that needs two philosophers and chunky treatises to explain, but the “meaning” of the art is ankle deep: audience/performer lines blurred, fantasy/reality explored, but ultimately – money made. 
Well, if Thurston Moore crams himself up into every other “cool” new book intro and weasels all over the place, why not?
Editor-in-Chief:
Never cool when celebrities waltz into the art world while others have made it a life long pursuit and struggle in obscurity… Sly do you hear me??
OMG. I'm pretty sure I'm the inspiration for the purple/gray quarter-circle. It looks like the way that I look like!
Kim, I like good weed, too!
