Making the Nature Scene
Long before Kim Gordon was a cooler-than-thou multimedia artist in Body/Head, she was a cooler-than-thou multimedia artist in Sonic Youth. In the â80s, Gordon and her bandmates were fixtures of New Yorkâs downtown art and music scene; one regular haunt of theirs was legendary nightclub Danceteria, which served as the setting for a short film Gordon made sometime around 1985. Now, as Dangerous Minds points out, said video has surfaced online thanks to filmmaker/designer Chris Habib (a.k.a. Visitor Design). âExcellent video I found in my Sonic Youth archive,â Habib writes on the clipâs Vimeo page. âI digitized it for Kim during her [early 2000s] CLUB IN THE SHADOWS exhibition at Kenny Schachterâs old space in the West Village.â
