We’ve always been a fan of anything and everything Kim Gordon (like the previously-featured Noise Paintings that were on display at John McWhinnie @ Glenn Horowitz Bookseller). To celebrate the fifth anniversary of downtown fashion and art label No. 6, Gordon has produced a collection of 14 single-word paintings. Similar to the Noise Paintings, which bared the name of a favorite noise band (Hair Police, Testical Hazard, Pussy Galore), each painting for the No. 6 collection contains a word chosen from a line in Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon”: “she is like a cat in the dark, and then she is the darkness.” The paintings were compiled as sets in a simple black portfolio, and are available for $40 online as well at the No. 6 store (6 Centre Market Place). In addition to the prints, No. 6 also designed two tee shirts available for purchase in the same style, reading either “she” or “darkness.” Which one are you?

If you haven’t heard of Mia Moretti, you probably aren’t in the loop. The New York-based DJ by way of LA and San Francisco plays gigs in hip locales from Williamsburg to the Lower East side, and shares her favorite spots in her adopted city with us.
