Sonic Youth Poster, Cat's Cradle, Carrboro NC, 2004
23" x 32" poster for Sonic Youth’s show at my workplace Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, NC, during their Sonic Nurse tour.
Three color screenprint.
Signed and numbered edition of 200. Extremely limited availability.
The nurse poster I created for Sonic Youth’s show at Cat’s Cradle in 2004 has been featured in over a dozen books and magazines, a German calendar, and was re-worked into a vinyl toy. In 2008 it was added to the permanent Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It made a cameo appearance in 2018’s Velvet Underground Experience exhibition in NYC, and in 2019 a print was acquired by Poster House in New York City, the first museum in the United States dedicated exclusively to posters.
The nurse and several other posters I designed for the band were also exhibited at LiFE in St. Nazaire, France; Museion in Bolzano, Italy; Kunsthalle/KIT in Düsseldorf, Germany; the Konsthall in Malmö, Sweden; and CA2M in Madrid, Spain, with the exhibition Sonic Youth: Sensational Fix from 2008 to 2011.
