The Desertshore Installation is a box set that was released by Throbbing Gristle. The 12-CDr set documents recording sessions for the Desertshore album (a cover of the Nico record - see Desertshore). These sessions were open to the public and a short question and answer session is included in the recordings. Each session lasted for approximately 2 hours and there were 2 sessions per day, an afternoon and an evening session. The box set only had one pressing.

A number of jams recorded during the installation appear on Throbbing Gristle's tour-only album release The Third Mind Movements.
