Björk's MoMA Takeover: 3 Questions To Chief Curator Klaus Biesenbach

The Icelandic diva is back with Vulnicura, a critically-acclaimed, harrowing new album about breakup, and she will soon be the subject of a retrospective at MoMA.

Chief curator-at-large Klaus Bisenbach sat down with V Magazine to spill some info on an exhibition that was 15 years in the making.

On working with Bjork:

"Once, we worked a whole day at MoMA and I wanted to invite her to a lunch at PS1 but we only had a short break. I said, 'Can you actually take the train?' She couldn't really answer. So we walked down to the E train, where there was this group of ladies giggling. One of them came over and said, 'Are you Bjork?' She looked at her and said, 'Sometimes.' I cannot believe how beautiful and generous that was. I was so impressed."

On celebrity:

"Bjork is very successful in avoiding the notion of celebrity and staying completely true to herself. I've never achieved this."

On the exhibition:

"It's not an exhibition about Bjork, but with Bjork. Everything is either designed by someone like Alexander McQueen, filmed by someone like Spike Jones, or photographed by someone like Juergen Teller."
