Last year, the good people at Flux curated Spectacle, a stunningly comprehensive look at where music videos have been and where they're headed. This April, Spectacle is arriving in NYC - with its collection of deep-diving music video exhibits that range from the latest OKGo immersive art-projects to the earliest music videos of them all, the Vitaphone shorts from the 1920s.
The list of cool stuff is mind-boggling and certainly enough to get all of Brooklyn to travel to the Musuem of the Moving Image in Queens.
- A special presentation of the Kanye/Marco Brambilla clip, “Power.”
- The impossibly Gondry-esque yarn props from the Steriogram clip at the top of this post.
- The ship Dayton & Faris created for Smashing Pumpkin's "Tonight Tonight" video.
- Exhibits highlighting the vital role NY-based television shows Yo! MTV Raps and Video Music Box played in taking hip-hop from the streets to living rooms all across the country.
- A life-sized Milky from Blur's amazing 'Coffee & TV' video - pictured below with Flux curator Jonathan Wells.
Spectacle runs at Museum of the Moving Image from April 3–June 16, 2013.
