Icelandic singer Björk’s albums have become increasingly high-concept as she returns from her 1990s commercial peak. The National Gallery of Iceland presents Echolalia by Björk in Reykjavik, 31.5.2026-20.9.2026.
There will also be a one-day festival in Víðistaðatún, Hafnarfjörður, on Wednesday, August 12, coincident with the first and only 21st-century eclipse.
Her hometown show is a good entry point. Immersive installations include a multimedia presentation of her next album, plus two others that provide context for her 2022 fungi-inspired LP, Fossora.
The National Gallery of Iceland presents an exhibition of Björk, the visionary musician whose work continually pushes conventional boundaries, interweaving art, nature, and technology through restless experimentation. Three songs are presented at the museum on a theatrical scale for the first time. Ancestress and Sorrowful Soil, composed and arranged by Björk in honor of her mother, are accompanied by a new work drawn from the artist’s forthcoming album. The exhibition is presented alongside Metamorphlings, an exhibition by James Merry, Björk’s longtime collaborator.
