The Desertshore Installation is a box set that was recorded and released by Throbbing Gristle in June 2007. The 12-CDr set documents the recording sessions of the cover version of Nico's third studio album, Desertshore [1] . These recordings were made as a document of TG's Desertshore Installation at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA). [2] These sessions, over three days (1-3 June), were open to the public [3] and a short question and answer session is included in the recordings. Each session lasted for approximately two hours and there were two sessions per day, an afternoon (12–2 p.m) and an evening (7–9 p.m) session [4] . The box set only had one pressing.[ citation needed ]
A number of jams recorded during the installation appear on Throbbing Gristle's tour-only album release The Third Mind Movements .[ citation needed ] According to Tutti, the ICA recording sessions were the last time all four band members would record together [4] .
After the band split up in 2010, Tutti, Carter and Christopherson continued work on the project under the name X-TG [4] . The resulting album, Desertshore/The Final Report , was released in 2012 [3] .
