Kim Gordon to publish collection of essays later this month

Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon has detailed her upcoming essay collection, entitled Is It My Body?.

Whilst also writing her memoirs, Gordon has decided to compile a series of pieces she wrote during the ’80s and ’90s for upcoming release.

“Ranging from neo-Conceptual artworks to broader forms of cultural criticism, these rare texts are brought together in this volume for the first time, placing Gordon’s writing within the context of the artist-critics of her generation,” a press release reads.

“In addressing key stakes within contemporary art, architecture, music, and the performance of male and female gender roles, Gordon provides a prescient analysis of such figures as Kelley, Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham, Tony Oursler, and Raymond Pettibon, in addition to reflecting on her own position as a woman on stage.”

The book will be published by Sternberg Press later this month.
