Mike Kelley - Kim Gordon - MOCA U - MOCAtv
Kim Gordon and Mike Kelley met as art students in Los Angeles in the 1970s. Many years later, her influential rock band Sonic Youth put Kelley on the pop culture map, by using a detail from "Ahh... Youth!" (1991) as an album cover. In this interview, Gordon recalls her musical history with Kelley, including "Plato's Cave" (1985), and discusses the enduring appeal of his stuffed animal works.
