Fra
poche settimane il MoMA di New York presenterà una grande
retrospettiva dedicata al lavoro multiforme della cantante,
compositrice e musicista Björk.
L’esposizione,
che si svolgerà dall’8 Marzo al 7 Giugno, sicuramente sarà una
fantastica immersione musicale e visiva in molte declinazioni della
creatività. La mostra sarà suddivisa fra strumenti,
rappresentazioni teatrali, esperienze sonore coinvolgenti, il tutto
gestito con una guida audio mirata al percorso di visita.
La
mostra attinge alla sua lunga carriera, sempre in continua
sperimentazione e ricerca, sia nei suoi album che nella grande
collaborazione con registi, fotografi, designer, artisti e altri
professionisti originali e sperimentali. L’intero progetto trova
compimento in un progetto musicale coinvolgente commissionato da MoMA
stesso per l’evento.
La
mostra è ideata e organizzata da Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator at
Large del MoMA e Direttore del MoMA PS1, ed è reso possibile da una
partnership con Volkswagen of America.
MoMA
presents Björk, a retrospective dedicated to the multifaceted work
of the singer, composer, and musician, from March 8 to June 7, 2015.
Björk offers an experience of music in many layers, with
instruments, a theatrical presentation, an immersive sound
experience, a focused audio guide, and related visualizations—from
photography and music videos to new media works. The exhibition draws
from more than 20 years of the artist's daring and innovative career,
beginning with her eight full-length albums and multiple
collaborations with directors, photographers, designers, artists, and
other experimental practitioners, and culminating in a new, immersive
music and film experience commissioned by MoMA. The exhibition is
conceived and organized by Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator at Large
at MoMA and Director of MoMA PS1, and is made possible by a
partnership with Volkswagen of America.
The
product of a close collaboration between Mr. Biesenbach and Björk,
the exhibition brings together a chronology of sounds, videos,
objects, instruments, costumes, and images that express the artist's
overarching project: her music. Chronologically, the exhibition
begins with the release of Björk's first mature solo album, Debut,
in 1993, and proceeds through her career up to her most recent work
in 2015, including a new video and music installation commissioned
especially for the Museum, Black Lake (which also appears on her new
album, Vulnicura).
Mr.
Biesenbach states: "An uncompromisingly original and highly
accomplished auteur and solo artist in her composing, singing, and
music, Björk is notably open to collaboration and interpretation of
her work, extending even into education and audience participation.
Over the decades she has also developed a highly collaborative
practice to visualize and express her music and lyrics. Working with
photographers, film- and video-makers, designers, architects,
craftsmen, and inventors, she crosses over into all categories of
high and low culture, digital and analog, into most creative fields."
