Bjork is just coming off of a retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art. If you're wondering how it went, these headlines will fill you in:

Under Fire, MoMA Vows to Learn From Björk Show
Why Does Everyone Hate the Björk Retrospective at MoMA
Is the Bjork Show Klaus Biesenbach's Ruin? 
'Björk' at MoMA Is a Beautiful, Ill-Conceived Disaster

Geez, tell us how y'all really feel.

Despite all the criticism, it seems as though everyone agrees that the problem was in the execution and not a judgment on whether Bjork's work was museum-worthy. Small triumphs.

ArtNews critic M.H. Miller had this to say about “Black Lake,” a 10-minute piece commissioned for the exhibit: "[it] isn’t a 'new immersive music and film experience,' it’s a music video."

And now that Bjork has released it to the public, we can appreciate it as such, outside of museum walls.

"Black Lake" finds Bjork in an Icelandic cave crawling around, gesturing wildly and head banging (naturally). Then, blue lava flows and other weird things happen. Take a look:

Bjork also recently shared "Stonemilker," an intimate 360-degree virtual reality video featuring a bunch of Bjork clones because one is definitely not enough. You can use the cursor to chase her doppelgängers around the beach and revel in the Icelandic landscape and Bjork's beautiful weirdness.
