2015 is Björk´s Year! Our favourite Icelandic artist Björk has announced details and name of her ninth studio album: Vulnicura! The album wil be out in March. With a hand written note Björk shared more details of the album. Songs are named like Stonemilker”, “Lionsong”, “History of Touches”, “Black Lake”, “Family”, “Notget”, “Atom Dance”, “Mouth Mantra”, and “Quicksand”. And on top of that!! The famous arthouse MOMA presents a retrospective of the multifaceted work of composer, musician, and artist Björk.Startinh on March 7.2015!
The exhibition 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. 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 Thomas Huang and 3-D design leader Autodesk.
MoMA curator Klaus Biesenbach said: “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.” More at the MOMA webpage
