Mirror/Dash - 04/10/10

Mirror/Dash performed a noise set last Saturday in promotion of a new Sonic Youth art book entitled Sensational Fix.

Here's a brief background:



...and here's how it went down:

Thirty Days NY- Mirror Dash

“THIRTYDAYSNY is a celebration of the merger of arts and culture. The challenge was building out, organizing, managing, and presenting a live gallery space open to the public for one month in the heart of New York City. The gallery is curated by Family Bookstore, and the accompanying Thirty Days NY website is headed by Dallas Clayton. The completed Thirty Days Gallery, located at 70 Franklin Street, Tribeca, will feature weekly performances, symposiums, and showcases from contemporary artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers from all over the world.”

Good stuff. Tonight SY Thurston and Kim perform as Mirror/Dash (also the name of Kim's clothing line) in celebration of the Sonic Youth art book Sensational Fix, and Kim Gordon: The Noise Paintings.

Don't come looking for pop tunes.
