Böcker av Kim Gordon

Often described as aloof, Kim Gordon opens up as never before in Girl in a Band. Telling the story of her family, her life in visual art, her move to New York City, the men in her life, her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, her music, and her band, Girl in a Band is a rich and beautifully written memoir. Gordon takes us back to the lost New York of the 1980s and '90s that gave rise to Sonic Youth, and the Alternative revolution in popular music the band helped usher in-paving the way for Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and many other acts. But at its core, Girl in a Band examines what partnership means-and what happens when it dissolves.

Imagine a world in which there is a huge rising up of godly women who are drawing closer to God, experiencing spiritual growth along with their husbands, and moving mountains of marital difficulties because of learning how to be the helper that God intended them to be! Imagine that you are one of those women! There is power and promise in your prayers. This book serves as an inspiration for wives who want to lift their husbands through prayer, but often don't know how to start or what to say. Inside you'll find ways to prepare your heart and mindset, exemplary prayers that you can make personal, multiple scriptures for inspiration, and thoughtful questions. If you are a wife or soon-to-be wife of any age, any stage of life, any level of faith, then this book is for you. God longs to see your heart loving and cherishing your husband through prayers; prayers that God loves to answer.

Throughout 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, John Miller, 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, Tony Oursler, and Raymond Pettibon, in addition to reflecting on her own position as a woman on stage. The result—Is It My Body?—is a collection that feels as timely now as when it was written. This volume additionally features a conversation between Gordon and Jutta Koether, in which they discuss their collaborations in art, music, and performance.Institut für Kunstkritik Series
