NRGordon’s film Picture Window, directed together with Manuela Dalle, was inspired by Chantal Akerman’s film “Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles”. This reverent nod to what some refer to as “the greatest film of all time” stars Gordon herself, going about her day.

“Kim's nieces shot this video and Kim and I put it together for Kill Rock Stars' first VHS video comp. I guess we made it in the mid/late 90s. Always reminded me of a Sympathy for the Devil/Le Gai Savoir take on Tony Oursler's "EVOL" or something. Our master was on S-VHS. It's all we could afford.” —Katie Erdman

Long before Kim Gordon was a cooler-than-thou multimedia artist in Body/Head, she was a cooler-than-thou multimedia artist in Sonic Youth. In the ’80s, Gordon and her bandmates were fixtures of New York’s downtown art and music scene; one regular haunt of theirs was legendary nightclub Danceteria, which served as the setting for a short film Gordon made sometime around 1985. Now, as Dangerous Minds points out, said video has surfaced online thanks to filmmaker/designer Chris Habib (a.k.a. Visitor Design). “Excellent video I found in my Sonic Youth archive,” Habib writes on the clip’s Vimeo page. “I digitized it for Kim during her [early 2000s] CLUB IN THE SHADOWS exhibition at Kenny Schachter’s old space in the West Village.”
Making the Nature Scene
1985
Like a hand-held electric sander Gordon’s guitar touches, rubs against and glides over the everyday objects of the city. Largely ignored by the passing crowd Gordon moves like an alien, using sound to examine and interpret place and time as perhaps only an outsider, arguably Gordon’s artistic leitmotif, can do.
