Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth announces performance in IMMA & exhibition
‘She bites her tender mind’ features previously unseen paintings, drawings, and ceramic sculptures, alongside a glitter installation and an immersive video projection.
‘She bites her tender mind’ is a solo exhibition by revered multi-disciplinary artist Kim Gordon.

It will feature live performances by Body/Head, an experimental electric guitar duo composed of Kim Gordon and Bill Nace; poet Elaine Kahn; and guitarist Heather Leigh.
Kim Gordon’s exhibition ‘She bites her tender mind’ runs July 27 – November 10 in IMMA. An Evening with Kim Gordon with performers Body/Head, Heather Leigh and Elaine Kahn in the IMMA Courtyard takes place Saturday July 27. Tickets €25.00 on sale Wednesday 19 June at 9am.
