Other | Wednesday 18th June 2014 | Annalisa
Bjork's vast and hugely influential body of work as a musician, composer and artist will be brought together in a grand retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). The exhibition opens on March 7th 2015 and will last until June 7th.
With more than 20 years of creative projects, 7 individual albums and a whole host of collaborative ventures, this collection will be an enormous spectacle of imagined, fictitious and factual material that will no doubt be worthy of Bjork's epic career. Organised by Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator at MoMA and Director of MoMA PS1, the idea is to put in place an array of audible and physical installations to bring to life and present the value of her work as a whole.
Björk's collaborations with video directors, photographers, fashion designers, and artists will be featured at the exhibition and there will be a newly conceptualised, immersive music and film experience led by director Andrew Huang and 3-D design leader Autodesk.
“Björk is an extraordinarily innovative artist whose contributions to contemporary music, video, film, fashion, and art have had a major impact on her generation worldwide,” said Mr.Biesenbach. “This highly experimental exhibition offers visitors a direct experience of her hugely collaborative body of work.”
The artist's 2011 'Biophelia' hybrid software application will be the first App to be on display at the MoMA and will be housed along with a broad spectrum of interactive works. The App was a gift from a gift from Bjork and her record label One Little Indian.
Here's a video of her song 'Big Time Sensuality' to remind you of how awesome she is.
