Radiohead's 'Motion Picture House' Opens at Brooklyn Navy Yards

Radiohead's immersive exhibition 'Motion Picture House' has opened at Brooklyn Navy Yards in New York, following its debut at Coachella Festival. The installation, transported by 12 large trucks, draws from the aesthetic of the albums Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001), and features art by frontman Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood. Visitors encounter glitching televisions, cryptic posters, stick-figure sculptures, and large prints of alien landscapes. The experience culminates in a 75-minute film, 'KID A MNESIA,' directed by Sean Evans, which debuted on PS5 and Epic Games Store in 2021. The film follows a minotaur-like creature through dreamlike chambers, accompanied by tracks remixed by producer Nigel Godrich. The exhibition also includes a theater with four giant tilted screens and a calibrated speaker system. Yorke and Donwood have increasingly emerged as artists, with recent shows at Tin Man Art in London and a 2025 retrospective 'This Is What You Get' at the Ashmolean Museum in the U.K. 'Motion Picture House' will travel to Chicago, Mexico City, and San Francisco through 2027.
