      Black Box was released as an edition of 150 in October 2000, to coincide with Sonic Youth's weeklong stint at the Ystad Festival in Sweden. 100 copies were made available for sale, and 50 copies were set-aside for the participants. Priced at $500, the box contained a variety of sound and visual art projects, most of which were exclusive to the set.

      "They will be real rarities", said Ystad Kontsmuseum director Thomas Millroth, in advance of the release. "The reason we don't press larger quantities is that we don't want to compete with the record companies. This is an artistic 
edition."

      The contents included Thurston Moore’s fanzine What I like About Feminism, Kim Gordon’s VIP museum discount card, a five-track CD by Jim O’Rourke, a sixty-two minute CD and a 7” single by the band accompanied by tenor sax player Mats Gustafsson, prints by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, Sven-Åke Johansson, Clara Hall, Frauke Eckhardt, and David Stackenäs, a silhouette cut-out by Leah Singer (from her series of works utilizing discarded rubyliths that she saved while archiving the photographic collection of the New York Daily News) and various other artworks.

      Lee Ranaldo’s visual contribution was a ripped photograph in a glassine envelope, called Four Organs (Torn) and later retitled as Torn Photograph (for SR and RS). The piece conflates works by two of Ranaldo’s favorite artists – Robert Smithson and Steve Reich. The original Smithson work was itself created for a boxed collection, the 1970 Multiples Inc. Artists& Photographs project, which featured nineteen contemporary artists, including Mel Bochner, Jan Dibbets, Dan Graham, Bruce Nauman, Robert Rauschenberg, and Ed Ruscha. Smithson's contribution, entitled Torn photograph from the 2nd stop (Rubble), was a snapshot of rubble, ripped into four square pieces, and presented in a glassine envelope.

      In that same year, Reich’s Four Organs was first performed, at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, on four Farfisa mini compact organs. The performance was recorded and released as an LP with a cover by Michael Snow, later that year.
