“I just feel like it’s tricky, that sort of branding.'
When Rizzoli approached Kim Gordon last year about putting together a book, the pitch was that they wanted to do one about a feminist icon. Gordon by many accounts fits such a descriptor — the Sonic Youth frontwoman has inspired countless with her career in the male-dominated indie rock music scene — but Gordon was hesitant to agree to the project because of such an identifier.
Gordon, who has been home in L.A. with her new puppy passing the time painting throughout the pandemic, was supposed to spend 2020 touring, and had spent months memorizing lyrics and “having huge anxiety about putting this band together and rehearsing,” she says. “And we basically just did three shows. So yeah, it was kind of hugely disappointing.”That said, she hasn’t minded the time spent in L.A.
“When I was a teenager, I went to see this show at the Museum of Modern Art here that was art and technology. And that was the first time I saw in person, and there was Warhol and Bruce Nauman. And it was a fantastic show,” she says. “And I also remember going to this Van Gogh show that was really eye-opening because when you look at paintings in books, you’re seeing reproductions. It’s like a totally different thing than when you actually see the brushstrokes and the kind of humanness of it.
