Chronicles Vol.3

Kim Gordon's Real Estate Paintings are combined with staged canvases photographed by Josephine Pryde in vacant apartments and offices in and around Kriens and Lucerne, creating a disturbing and enraptured atmosphere. Gordon is an American musician, singer, and songwriter, best known as the bassist, guitarist, and vocalist of Sonic Youth. She has also had ventures in record producing, fashion, writing, acting, directing, and has worked consistently as a visual artist throughout her musical career. Josephine Pryde's photographs and sculptures reactivate techniques and concepts from a variety of sources and function in a more or less close combination with the specific surroundings and their attendant relationships.

Tract developments in Los Angeles are often compared to utopian communities, drawing inspiration from the 1920s utopian cult Kibbo Kift. These real estate developments, with names like Hidden Hills, Golden Valley, and Garden Paradise Estates, offer an escape from the city life and a desire for utopian living in nature. The signage outside these developments, reminiscent of Kibbo Kift's banners, creates a sense of mystery and longing for a simpler time. The photographs in Kim Gordon's Chronicles Vol. 3, which combine her Real Estate Paintings with staged canvases photographed by Josephine Pryde in vacant apartments and offices in and around Kriens and Lucerne, create a disturbing and enraptured atmosphere. Gordon, an American musician, singer, and songwriter, is best known as the bassist, guitarist, and vocalist of Sonic Youth. She has also had ventures in record producing, fashion (X-Girl), writing, acting, directing, and has worked consistently as a visual artist throughout her musical career. Gordon formed Sonic Youth with Thurston Moore, Lee Renaldo, and Richard Edson in 1981.
