“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 (MoMA Director). “This highly experimental exhibition offers visitors a direct experience of her hugely collaborative body of work.”
The Museum of Modern Art announces that it will present a fullscale
retrospective dedicated to the multifaceted work of the composer, musician, and artist Björk
in 2015. Organized by Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator at Large at MoMA and Director of MoMA
PS1, the exhibition Björk draws from more than 20 years of the artist’s daring and adventurous
projects and her seven full-length albums—from Debut (1993) to Biophilia (2011)—to chronicle
her career through sound, film, visuals, instruments, objects, costumes, and performance.The installation will present a narrative, both biographical and imaginatively fictitious, cowritten by Björk and the acclaimed Icelandic writer Sjón Sigurdsson. Björk’s collaborations with video directors, photographers, fashion designers, and artists will be featured, and the exhibition culminates with a newly commissioned, immersive music and film experience conceived and realized with director Andrew Huang and 3-D design leader Autodesk. Björk will be on view from March 7 through June 7, 2015.
