Life Along the Borderline: A Tribute to Nico
Curated by John Cale
For nearly 50 years, John Cale has thrived at the vanguard of a
myriad of popular music styles, having founded the Velvet
Underground, and collaborated with such artists as Patti
Smith, John Cage, La Monte Young, LCD Soundsystem, Danger
Mouse, and more. This January, he comes to BAM to present two
special programs.
In Life Along the Borderline: A Tribute to
Nico, Cale is joined by a roster of artists—including
The Magnetic Fields, Kim Gordon, and Sharon Van Etten, among
