"Black Lake" Video Previews Björk MoMA Retrospective

Who needs Swan Lake when we're about to get Black Lake?

Björk officially enters the realm of fine art — even though any music video fan already considers her atop the "music video as art" food chain — with a forthcoming retrospective at NYC's prestigous MOMA, and this video to commemorate the occasion.

Based on the preview, we're in for another doozy courtesy of director Andrew Thomas Huang, who previously worked with Bjork on the "Mutual Core" video.

The whole thing will premiere as a sound/video installation at MOMA, when the Björk retrospective opens March 8 and runs through June 7. Visitors will also be able to experience a cinema room showcasing all her videos, plus various instruments and art pieces from her discography, including the robots from her "All Is Full Of Love" video and, of course, the legendary Swan Dress.

Last Night In Paris "Pure" (Karim Huu Do, dir.)

"This more than just a minor hobby. In fact, this is a life. In fact, this is a family."

And this is more than a music video: It's a devilishly clever set-up that lulls you down a gritty, yet strangely dreamlike street thuggery, before hitting the country where we realize that we're getting sky high with one hell of a drug. And then, SNAP, we're back again, as the lines between filmmaker and actor, particpant and viewer, fantasy and reality, gravity and sanity.

PNC "If It Wasn't For Love" (Andrew Campion, dir.)

If It Wasn't For Love is the latest video released from PNC's critically acclaimed The Codes. The track is a genre-bending collaboration with up and coming US R&B singer Nylo, who has been described by Nas as his "new favourite artist". Over Matt Miller's signature ethereal production, PNC delivers rich lyricism dealing with the pitfalls and redemption of depression & addiction.
