While at Otis, Kim created what were to be her last visual-art projects. For a painting class, she collected automobile brochures from showrooms and rendered little paintings in the windows of the car photographs. Her teacher, an aging Abstract Expressionist, was outraged. For another, she cut personalized quotes written to accompany display ads out of newspapers, and signed her name to them. In her final semester, she met Michael Gira, a long-haired student with attitude. They became quick friends. Kim recalls being impressed by one Gira project that consisted of a naked woman lying on a table in a room rigged with a video camera. As viewers left the room, they would come upon a monitor screening their reactions to what they had just seen. |

One Nitsch installment, Orgies Mysteries Theatre, involved "two dead lambs and gallons and gallons of lamb's blood." In another, Nitsch would train an orchestra of volunteers to play classical instruments in two days, using hand signals... It was at one of these events that Martin met up with Michael Gira, an Otis student with a penchant for the macabre. Gira had been publishing a magazine with a couple friends called No; one cover featured authentically graphic autopsy photos. |

excerpts from a book i'm reading, "confusion is next: the sonic youth story" by alec foege. not particularly well-written and rather badly-organized... but it's great for learning about the early 80's art/music climate in nyc. i love the descriptions of art projects going on back then. really interesting stuff. |

Why are Sonic Youth so damned popular ? I've always found them JUST this side of dull. |

While in Boston, Branca founded the Bastard Theater... The usual Bastard Theater production incorporated elements of Dadaism, performance art, rock music, and experimental music. There were never any characters or plot. "One of the plays," says Branca, "would start off with an attack on the audience, in which the actors would create a kind of vocal piece that would be intended to intimidate and offend the audience in the most extreme possible way you could imagine. The actor would be asking, 'Why the fuck did you bother to come here? This is garbage. You're garbage.' Of course, it was a little more poetic than that." What made the work all the more powerful and jarring was that the company would spend six or seven months devising and rehearsing each piece, often with a budget of around fifty dollars. |

i sometimes think they're a bit over-rated... but at the same time, they seem to be really influential and important in the scheme of things... i don't find their music dull... just a matter of taste, i guess. but i would say that it took me a long time to get into them. their music had to grow on me at first. |
