Marco Fusinato in sonic youth ETC.: SENSATIONAL FIX
17 Jun 2008
The exhibition Sonic Youth, etc: Sensational Fix focuses on the
multidisciplinary activities of the groundbreaking experimental group Sonic Youth since its formation in 1981. It features the band’s collaborations with visual artists, filmmakers, designers and musicians, as well as a choice of other works selected by the band. Through the multidisciplinary
output of Sonic Youth and related works by other artists in the exhibition,
an alternative history of contemporary culture is being uncovered in which
the division between ‘high art’ and ‘low art’ is being called into question,
while issues are explored such as teenage rebellion, adolescent wanderlust,
gender, fame, fashion, sexuality, and religion.
