“Crystalline” is the first single from Bjork’s Biophilia, the iPad-inspired multi-media LP that will celebrate “how sound works in nature, exploring the infinite expanse of the universe, from planetary systems to atomic structure.” So if there’s not an app for that already, there will be. Take a listen below.
(via Disco Naïveté)

The track’s out officially 6/30.

Björk will debut more Biophilia over six shows at the Manchester International Festival beginning Thursday. Here via NME.com is the first look at one of her costumes:

BASK

April 23rd, 2011

323 East, Royal Oak, MI

About the Event

International Artist BASK to Exhibition New Art at 323East
Special Edition Screen Print Release on 4/18 & Live Mural Painting 4/19 – 4/22
Bask, the Czech-born agent provacateur of countless “thoughtcrimes”, will headline a new exhibition Saturday Night Special at 323East Gallery on Saturday, April 23 at 6 p.m. Art fiends, free thinkers, urban-culture aficionados and scenesters alike are invited to mingle, have a drink and enjoy the painter’s latest works.

There will be a special overture to the festivities starting April 19. That day BASK will commence a mural on the Royal Oak gallery’s outside wall – an ambitious work he’ll continue to labor on until the exhibit’s official unveiling on the 23rd.

Continuing with the week long festivities BASK is releasing his second art print on 323East’s sister site 1xRUN. The featured image from Saturday Night Special will be recreated in a multi-color silkscreen print. This limited edition, signed and numbered print will be available for 1 week starting at Noon EST on April 18th – April at http://1xRUN.com. In this image the woman is casually framed by ghostlike mechanical engines and an ambiguous ocean of objects swirls beneath her eyes – the latter element resembling the schema of a computer’s mainframe as delineated by things suspiciously similar to spermatazoa. Is the mask meant to conceal identity or does it hide the marks of some past crime?

Bask is that rarity in the contemporary art world – a serious commentator on social issues and problems who draws upon personal experiences and insights rather than theory. Equally inspired by graffiti, the punk scene’s D.I.Y. use-what-ya-got ethos, and the parallels he sees between the stark propaganda of his Eastern European childhood and contemporary American pop culture with all its overt manipulations, his works are gritty and thematically rich. Encompassed in the original slogan that first caught the imagination of critics and public – “Bask in your thought crime” – his philosophy is one of freedom and individuality, rather than the exacerbation of blind nihilism. He sees myriad possibilities in a discarded piece of wood, in a whitewashed brick wall, or in the emotions that arise when familiar shadows loom behind bright, shining lies.

His eyes are open -as is his mind. His art encourages us to embrace the same practices.

Bask’s imagery has been shown in New York, London, San Francisco, Miami, and Detroit, and is a part of the Jacksonville Museum of Contemporary Art’s permanent collection. His work has also been published in countless publications including books like, Graffiti World, New Amarican Paintings, BLK/MRKT ONE, and the upcoming 3D Art Book.

323 East is a collection of creative energy materialized in a mashup of art, culture, lifestyle and creativity. Located 20 minutes north of Detroit in Royal Oak, MI; 323East is home to over 100 artists with rotating works in a variety of mediums.
