ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Object Of Projection is an exhibition that focuses on Gordon’s video installations. These works, often created with collaboration from filmmakers like Manuela Dalle, explore her interest in how objects and the self can interact as interventions in public spaces. Gordon sometimes becomes a performer or an object in her own home, presenting a performance that’s both hidden and created for the viewer. Her art reminds us that these relationships are never fixed; they’re always changing and being redefined.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Kim Gordon is an influential American artist, musician, and writer, born on April 28, 1953, in Rochester, New York. She is best known as a founding member of the iconic alternative rock band Sonic Youth. Gordon played a pivotal role in shaping the band’s distinctive sound and image. Her unique blend of punk, noise, and experimental rock contributions to Sonic Youth made her a seminal figure in the music world.

From the late 1970s onward, Kim Gordon has maintained an art practice characterized by its personal and non-linear nature, embracing experimentation. During her early career under the moniker Design Office, Gordon’s work was dedicated to dismantling and scrutinizing established artistic conventions. This period defined her dynamic techniques and audacious exploration. The first ones took the form of interventions in private homes, the artist acting equal parts psychologist and failed interior decorator.

Kim Gordon: Object Of Projection is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.

“TALKING TO GORDON ABOUT HER SHOW GAVE INSIGHT INTO THE NATURE OF SUCH WORKS, ALONG WITH HER INDELIBLE TAKE ON A MOMENT IN TIME THAT FEELS LIKE A SLOW SINK INTO ORWELLIAN HELL.”
