The blockbuster exhibition “David Bowie is” is now open in its final location – and its only east coast location – the Brooklyn Museum. Through July 15, 2018. This video by the Victoria and Albert Museum explores the phenomenon.
“I remember as a teenager getting ‘Low’ on tape and playing that a lot. As an album, it’s almost the perfect album. Thinking that was done in 1977, it still sounds like it was made tomorrow…” – Jeremy Deller
From the V&A:
‘David Bowie is’ has opened at the V&A to an extraordinary public and critical reception. To get an understanding of how David Bowie has become among the most influential pop stars of his generation, we sought insights from musician Thurston Moore, artist Jeremy Deller, music journalist Simon Price, dedicated Bowie fan Ziggy Jacobs and artist Daphne Guinness. Between them they trace Bowie’s career from the 1960s, and take a close look at his approaches to the creation of music, image and performance.
