Bjork To Be Honored With MOMA Exhibition [PHOTO]

Icelandic musician, perennial weirdo, and possible fairy person Bjork will be honored with a career retrospective exhibition at New York's Museum Of Modern Art (MOMA). The exhibition, titled Bjork, slated to run from March 7, 2015 until June 7, 2015, will explore the musician's career, "through sound, film, visuals, instruments, objects, costumes, and performance," according to a press release.

Bjork has been receiving plenty of accolades from the museum recently, the Museum of Modern Art announced that her Biophilia app would be the first app to become a part of the permanent collection. The app is already being used to teach creativity in several Scandinavian schools. 

"Bjork 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  MoMA's chief curator, Klaus Biesenbach, said in a statement. "This highly experimental exhibition offers visitors a direct experience of her hugely collaborative body of work."

"The installation will present a narrative, both biographical and imaginatively fictitious, cowritten by Bjork and the acclaimed Icelandic writer Sjón Sigurdsson," the statement reveals. "Bjork'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."

Expect it to get weird.
