Hooting Miss Owl: IDOL FRIDAY: Björk

On Sunday, a new exhibition will be launching at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The exhibition will be presenting 20 years worth of work from Icelandic musician, Björk Guðmundsdóttir. Fans and visitors will be greeted by sound and video installations of new and old work, custom-made instruments used on Biophilia and music videos from albums 'Debut' to 'Biophilia' will be screened in a specially designed cinema room, so this is definitely not something to miss!

The museum has had to make some big adjustments in preparation for the exhibition. A whole new floor has been built to make sure that the building can take the dirty, bassy notes in the commissioned video for 'Black Lake'. It will also be the first time the museum has showcased an app. Björk released an app back in 2011 to co-inside with her album, Biophilia. It took users onto a journey of her songs by being able to rework the material. A visual album with interactive graphics. We currently have it on our iPad and it's very cleverly done. It even has David Attenbourgh narrating. We introduced Molly to Björk using this app and not only did she really enjoy playing with sound but she's now an ardent Björk fan too.

Björk has worn some pretty amazing outfits over the past years for Award ceremonies, tours and music videos. Each incorporating the avant garde art that she was creating. Some of these, including the famous swan dress designed by Marjon Perjoski, will also be showcased at the MOMA exhibition and it would be just amazing to look at the skill and work that has been put into these garments in such close detail.

I remember the first time I heard Björk. I was listening to 'Venus as a Boy' on the radio and fell in love with her ever-changing, quirky and surprising voice. She sounded bonkers but had a wild, childlike demeanor that you'd instantly warm to. Her music was nothing that you'd heard before but was a great mixture of electronic, trip hop and classical influences which was perfect for what was happening in the music scene at the time in London. I love how Björk's home country has always been a huge influence on her and affects the way she sings. She seems to be ever evolving, changing just like the natural world around us. I simply can't wait to see what else she has up her sleeve. I only wish that I could hop across the ocean to see and experience this very special exhibition.

If like me your not able to make it to The Big Apple, here are my top 5 Bjork songs for you to enjoy!

1. I Miss You (1995)
