Museion



The SONIC YOUTH etc. : SENSATIONAL FIX exhibition will be held at Museion, Bolzano from October 11th 2008 to January 4th 2009. The show, which combines art and music, has been curated by Roland Groenenboom in close collaboration with the band Sonic Youth.

SONIC YOUTH etc. : SENSATIONAL FIX investigates the collaborations between the historic band, which was formed in 1981, and artists, writers, filmmakers, designers, and other musicians. The multimedia works of Sonic Youth and those oh the artists exhibited in the show reveal a possible alternative history of contemporary culture, with a critical discussion of the division between "high" and "popular" art, with topics such as youth rebellion, hunger, fashion and sex. The various sections revolve around a central area, which illustrates the band's long history, with records, posters, T-shirts, instruments and photographs.
