Lizzi Bougatsos is an underground music, art, and fashion icon. One of the "enfants terribles" in the downtown art scene, Bougatsos’ musical practice has been described as “percussive-minded,” ranging from "deconstructionist anti-music" or "insane, rule-breaking almost-noise," to "intoxicating" and "otherworldly." Her acclaimed band of almost 20 years, Gang Gang Dance, was in the 2008 Whitney Biennial as well as a composer for Boadrum88. She is also in the industrial-dub power duo I.U.D., with Sadie Laska, when performed as part of Dan Colen’s solo exhibition Help! at The Brant Foundation hauled two drum kits on top of trucks lodged into the ground, MoMA PS1 with Kim Gordon, ISSUE Project Room and various other, dingy DIY venues. Her recent work ENERGY CHANCE was performed in conjunction with the exhibition John Cage: There Will Never Be Silence (2014) at MoMA. She is known for her unique vocal style and her work, whether visual or musical, often reflects the troubled state of current sociopolitical events and/or broken humanity. Her discography has been released by The Social Registry, P-Vine, Warp and 4AD. Bougatsos is currently represented by the James Fuentes Gallery, and exhibits and performs internationally.
