  • Perfect Partner
    PERFECT PARTNER A film by Kim Gordon, Tony Oursler and Phil Morrison starring Michael Pitt and Jamie Bochert, with a live soundtrack performed by Kim Gordon, Jim O’Rourke, Ikue Mori, Tim Barnes and DJ Olive As a significant figure of alternative/avant-garde rock and one of the founders of Sonic Youth, Kim Gordon is a truly creative spirit. Enigmatic, iconic, original and multi- faceted, she is increasingly working in the medium of visual arts and diversifying her music projects into more experimental territory. Perfect Partner is a first time collaboration between Kim Gordon, highly renowned artist Tony Oursler and acclaimed filmmaker Phil Morrison. In a response to America’s enchantment with car culture, this surreal psychodrama-cum-road movie starring Michael Pitt (The Dreamers, Hedwig And the Angry Inch, Bully and Gus Van Sant’s upcoming Last Days) and Jamie Bochert unfolds to a thundering free rock live soundtrack. The sound world of Perfect Partner is textural improvised music breaking into occasional songs that interact with the narrative of the film. Kim Gordon is joined on stage by fellow Sonic Youth collaborator, producer extraordinaire, composer and School Of Rock collaborator Jim O’Rourke, percussionist Tim Barnes, laptop virtuoso Ikue Mori and turntablist DJ Olive. Audiences across the UK should fasten their seatbelts for an invigorating trip through live music, video and projection in this one-off cross media adventure. Gordon and Oursler’s shared fascination with the dream lifestyle promised by car manufacturers, and the aspirational language of car advert copy (selling cars as our ‘perfect partner’), provided the inspiration for this hugely inventive project.

  • Jennifer Herrema on Making Stuff and Never Giving a Fuck
    February 8, 2017 - Jennifer Herrema is an American musician, designer, and style icon who is best known for being one half of infamous rock band Royal Trux. In addition to playing in her own band, Black Bananas, Herrema hosts her own Dublab radio show (“The Banana Question”) and has a series of ongoing fashion collaborations happening with Feathered Fish and Hysteric Glamour. In addition to playing shows, Royal Trux will release a live album later this year. As told to T. Cole Rachel, 2686 words. Tags: Music, Fashion, Independence, Inspiration. Jennifer Herrema on making stuff and never giving a fuck You do a little bit of everything—make music, design clothes and jewelry, do a radio show, make visual art. Am I forgetting anything? Yeah, I’m doing tons. Like, I only slept two hours last night, which is fucked up and not unusual for me, but this time it was because I did reflexology and it made me really wired. So, yeah, my brain is kind of fucked today. What else am I doing? Well, last year I made a “movie”—please include quotation marks—with Ariel Pink for Flaunt magazine. They were just like, “Hey! Will you make a movie for us, and we will use stills from it for the next issue?” and I was like, “Yeah, okay.” I’ve done stuff with them in the past where they were like, “Do whatever you want” and I like that. I like doing whatever I want. So I got all of these people from LA, running the gamut from pro surfers to strippers to musicians, a total mishmash of about 18 different people coming in from different places.

Davis: And I’m John Davis. I’m the performing arts metadata archivist at the University of Maryland. Today is June 13th, 2017. So, we're here to talk about your work that you did with fanzines in Washington D.C., particularly in the… Sayenga: My juvenilia, yes. Davis: Yes, [laugh] in the 1980s. I’m basically trying to speak to people to hear their stories about why they did zines, how they did zines. What were the experiences like? What did they take from it? You today, how do you connect to it? All these things. I’m just kind of trying to review that with some people who have done fanzines, who are from D.C. and just see kind of where it took them, as well as how they did it. So as far as Greed goes, first issue was I think 1985? Let’s consult. Sayenga: Good question. I’m going to look it up here. Let’s see. Oh, there’s a picture of—man, late Winter 1986. [laugh] Davis: OK. Very specific. Sayenga: So basically probably almost 1987, which makes it—no, ’86 is right though, because I know it took a while to actually pull it all together. So, well, sort of relatively—it seemed like a while at the time, because everything seemed to take forever. But actually when you look at it, it all flowed together with amazing speed.
