{"product_id":"is-it-my-body","title":"Is It My Body? Selected Texts","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout the 1980s and early ’90s, Kim Gordon—widely known as a founding member of the influential band Sonic Youth—produced a series of writings on art and music. 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, including Mike Kelley and Dan Graham. 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 and Raymond Pettibon, in addition to reflecting on her own position as a woman on stage. The result—\u003cem\u003eIs It My Body?\u003c\/em\u003e—is a collection that feels as timely now as when it was written. This volume, edited by Branden  W. Joseph, additionally features a conversation between Gordon and Jutta Koether, in which they discuss their collaborations in art, music, and performance.
