On the third floor, Songlines presents an interactive, location-based audio experience through Björk’s albums, with a biographical narrative that is both personal and poetic, written by the acclaimed Icelandic writer Sjón, along with many visuals, objects, and costumes, including the robots designed by Chris Cunningham for the “All Is Full of Love” music video, Marjan Pejowski’s Swan Dress (2001), and Iris van Herpen’s Biophilia tour dress (2013), among many others.Įntry to the Björk exhibition is included with general Museum admission. On the second floor, in the Marron Atrium, two spaces have been constructed: one is dedicated to a new sound and video installation, commissioned by The Museum of Modern Art, for “Black Lake,” a song from Björk’s new album Vulnicura (2015) and the second is a cinema room that screens a retrospective in music videos, from Debut (1993) to Biophilia. In the Museum lobby, instruments used on Biophilia (2011)-a gameleste, pipe organ, gravity harp, and Tesla coil-play songs from the album at different points throughout the day. The exhibition draws from more than 20 years of the artist’s daring and innovative projects and her eight full-length albums to chronicle her career through sound, film, visuals, instruments, objects, and costumes. It’s important that this exhibition displays the wealth of the richness of her work.The Museum of Modern Art presents a retrospective of the multifaceted work of composer, musician, and singer Björk. “She and her team are creative entrepreneurs and innovators. “Björk is more than just a musician,” Dibben says. Through visuals and sounds, the exhibition takes viewers through Björk’s career, beginning with the release of her solo album, Debut, in 1993 to her work in 2015 with a video and music installation, Black Lake, which was commissioned for the museum and part of her new album, Vulnicura. The exhibition goes through June 7, and along with music videos, it features album art, instruments, photography from concerts and costumes, including the infamous swan dress Björk wore to the 2001 Academy Awards. So shapes of songs are like crystals, arrangements multiply like viruses, chords are like strata in tectonic plates, rhythm like DNA replicates, arpeggios like lightning and so on…” Biophilia is also the first downloadable app to join MoMA’s permanent collection. The most natural way for me was to compare it to elements in nature. In a 2011 interview with the Atlantic, Björk says of her concept album, “I wanted to map out on a touchscreen how I experience musicology and then write with it.

The latter was a major component of Biophilia, the first ever app-album, which allows listeners to contribute to the music experience by playing with interactive on-screen visuals. Through her many albums, Björk explores various aspects of technology- music technology, the challenges of keeping up with new technology, the feminization of technology and the relationship between music, nature and technology.
