Björk (exhibition)

Exhibited at MoMA from March 8 to June 7, 2015, Björk was a "retrospective" showing comprising audio, video, fashion, instruments, and other objects pertaining to her career.

[1][3][4] Björk was curated by the director of MoMA PS1, Klaus Biesenbach, who commented on the exhibition: "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, this highly experimental exhibition offers visitors a direct experience of her hugely collaborative body of work".

[6] In addition, elements from her previous seven studio albums (excluding her 1977 juvenilia work Björk) and her multiple collaborations with fashion designers, video directors, and photographers[7] were presented as part of the mid-career "retrospective" titled "Songlines".

[8] Childhood friend of Björk, theatrical director, and actress Margrét Vilhjálmsdóttir and lyrical collaborator and Icelandic poet Sjón contributed to an audio narrative for visitors to the exhibit.

"[9] Ryu Spaeth of The Week additionally stated that there wasn't "enough in [the] cramped, snaking rooms to hold your interest" for the 40-minute audio tour,[13] while ARTnews' M. H. Miller opined that the exhibition was "hardly a retrospective—it’s starfucking, something increasingly familiar at MoMA, and a failure even at that.
