Bjork Street Station
“Bjork Street Station" is a performance art music video collaboration with visionary artists from L.A.N.D. Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, Film Director Rebecca Goyette and the Museum of Modern Art. "Bjork Street Station" was originally shown in a solo exhibition of L.A.N.D. Gallery Artists at MoMA's Cullman Education Center Gallery in 2015, entitled "Televisionary." The video was made in response to a MoMA show of Bjork's work, the group proposed they retitle their home base's street name Bjork Street rather than York Street, and created original improvisational music, costumery, and performative actions in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
Rat Woman
The Kennedy Center’s Maggie Daly Artist Cooperative (MDAC) in Bridgeport, CT and their own Ouch! band collaborated with MDAC artists and MoMA’s Rebecca Goyette to bring the band’s original song, Rat Woman to life. Prepare to be amazed by the rock n roll force that is Ouch! and their posse of Rat Rockers in this truly bodacious collaboration.
