A Triple-Header at ‘Garage’
Simone Leigh fans, take note: the cover of the new issue of Garage bears a portrait of the actress and singer Zendaya conceived by Leigh and shot by Ryan McGinley. (You can view the image on Zendaya’s Instagram, where it has garnered more than 1.3 million likes.) The cover comes as Leigh is all over town in New York: in a solo show at the Guggenheim, in the 2019 Whitney Biennial, and on the High Line.
Björk to Release VR Version of Album
The art world and Björk have an unusual relationship—though museums, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, have been quick to show her work, they’ve often been lambasted by critics for doing so. The experimental musician has pressed on anyway, and on Monday Pitchfork reported that Björk will release a VR version of her 2015 album Vulnicura. A similar work had previously been on view in a touring exhibition that showed at London’s Somerset House, and the re-release of Vulnicura drops Friday, September 6.
