Iconic genre-blending American experimentalists Xiu Xiu collide synth-fuelled pop, post-punk, and neo-classical experimentalism to create a personal sound world beyond compare. The band’s leader, Jamie Stewart, is responsible for a dynamic songbook that embraces a determined restlessness without fear. Over the last two decades, their prolific influential output of acclaimed albums and collaborations has been dazzling. They have released seventeen full-length LPs that have been praised by The New YorkerThe WireRolling StoneThe Guardian, and NME. Their latest album, 13″ Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips, expands their universe of wonderment and uneasy delight. They have toured the globe relentlessly, performing in places as far off the beaten path as Lebanon and Kazakhstan and vital institutions such as the Guggenheim and Centre Pompidou. Their work offers a compelling, vision of song, noise, and harmonic ferocity.

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
