Kim Gordon

Editorial / 2012 / Berlin
Published by mono.kultur / Berlin

Kim Gordon is hardly in need of an introduction. 'The coolest chick in rock', she has been at the centre of experimental noise rock trio Sonic Youth for the last three decades, bringing noise music into the mainstream or pop into the underground, depending on your point of view. Equally active in the worlds of fashion and fine art, Gordon embodies the spirit of punk rock across all genres but always with an air of sophisticated cool.

mono.position #07: Spiegelnde Kulissen

Group Exhibition / 05 April - 31 May 2013 / Berlin
Curated by Uncommon Place

I am happy to participate at the group exhibition Spiegelnde Kulissen where I will be showing the series Parallel Lines in the corporate environment of the ARD television headquarters in Berlin.

The exhibition at ARD Hauptstadtstudio presents four photographic positions that subtly comment on themes of recent political interest – energy politics, social networks, EU organisation and global financial crisis.

Shiny fassades, dreariness of administration in black & white, deep insight into private areas, and the proverbial drop in the bucket; the photography of the four young artists shine a light on visual aspects, features and symptoms of each particular subject and let one draw conclusions on their inherent structures as well as their modes of operation and action.

BER - Bilder einer Stadt

Group Exhibition / 12 April to 18 May 2013 / Berlin
Curated by Pavlov's Dog

I am happy to contribute to a tradition started last year by Berlin independent photography gallery Pavlov’s Dog of inviting 50 photographers for a themed group show – if you’re familiar with their (small-ish) space, you will know that that is no mean feat in itself. Coming up this Friday is the second installment, this time on a subject we never get tired of, which is our potentially lovely hometown – if only winter would go away for good that is. Here is what the curators have to say:

Berlin: No other city stirs so many longings and desires. And yet- everyone loves something different about this town, in which one is currently beginning to re-build an ancient palace. Berlin 2013 is a city full of contradictions: Booming start-ups and airport disasters, property boom and nostalgia for the Berlin Wall, Berghain and Waldorf Astoria. Artists have always had a particular visual sense for cracks and rifts, both of which are so apparent in Berlin.
