KIM GORDON: THE NOISE PAINTINGS: FINAL WEEK

Kim has an exhibition entitled : “The Noise Paintings” at John McWhinnie @ Glenn Horowitz Bookseller in Manhattan April 8- May 8 2010.  According to the gallery’s site: “Loosely painted words have dripping edges and bleeding contours that threaten to disrupt or annihilate the sense within. There is the feel of un-stylized urban graffiti, of the anonymous, spontaneous scrawls encountered in the profane world.  The gesture, the moment of creation, with all its attendant expressiveness is paramount. And yet, as lyrics, and personal catch phrases, Gordon has produced these words before, on paper and on canvas.  They are like personal mantras, surfacing repeatedly at moments of creative charge and expression. From the provocative (16 Bitch Pile Up) to the banal (Wet Hair) by way of the personally obscure (Sudden Oak) the words find a new unique form each time the artist commits them to a surface.

In partnership with Ecstatic Peace Library, JMc & GHB Editions will introduce a special edition of a new publication, Kim Gordon, The Noise Paintings. Drawn from a full edition of just 200, the special edition will comprise 26 lettered copies enclosed in a custom made cloth box with an original painting and recording laid in.”
