The Exhibition SONIC YOUTH etc. : SENSATIONAL FIX investigates the collaborations and ties between the experimental guitar band, which was formed in 1981, and artists, writers, filmmakers, designers, and other musicians. Sonic Youth’s multidisciplinary works and those of the artists in the show propose an alternative history of contemporary culture, including a critical view of the division between “high” and “popular” art, while issues are explored such as teenage rebellion, adolescent wanderlust, gender, fame, fashion, sexuality, and religion. The various sections revolve around a central area, which illustrates the band’s long history through their output, such as records, posters, musical instruments and photographs. SONIC YOUTH etc. : SENSATIONAL FIX is held at Museion from 11 October 2008 to 4 January 2009. The exhibition, which combines art and music, has been curated by Roland Groenenboom in close collaboration with the US band Sonic Youth.
