Kirkwood Artwork included in Sensational Fix Exhibit in France
If you would like to get up close and personal with Curt Kirkwood's artwork for the Lee Ranaldo Silver Wonder chapbook- Hello From the American Desert and you happen to be in France then you still have a chance.
Sensational Fix is an art exhibit focused around Sonic Youth and is running from June 18th-September 7th. It also features a live performance by the group August 9th.
There is talk of this exhibition traveling around Europe and the U.S. but I think the details have yet to be hammered out.
