SFMOMA today. Intense and haunting. Raw and timeless. Purging emotion. One of the best art experiences of my life. And it came out of nowhere. Just what was needed.
This was soooo incredible in person. The video doesn't do it enough justice but glad to see and hear it online!
I was so captivated by this performance that I saw it 4 times, and subsequently made this video montage to help me relive the experience:

Please please please NEVER TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN! I saw this work live, and it is absolutely incredible. Sitting there live for the whole hour to see the plot unfold was one of the most surreal experiences of my entire life! Hope SFMOMA can bring in even more cool pieces like this!

It's back until next summer!

Saw this at the Phoenix Art Museum, and it was the most beautiful thing my soul has ever experienced. People were laying on the floor with lovers, holding them, people were sitting everywhere, taking this in. My soul felt revitalized. It made me feel beautiful things. Made me feel sadness, sorrow, love, hope, strength. I'm so happy to see this here. It makes me feel so much, I want to cry.
Saw this at SFMOMA 6 or so years ago. Just saw it again at the Louisiana in Denmark today, sat through the full 64 minutes, and damn, it just doesn’t get old!!
I had the great fortune of seeing this piece in Boston at the ICA a few years ago, and I can honestly say that it changed my outlook on life. The multiple perspectives and discordant songs show the many different perspectives one can have on life, which continue to inform my view to this day
i saw this at the MFAH yesterday and words cannot express the feelings that it evoked within me. an intimate and beautiful moment
Had an opportunity to witness this incredible installation at the Louisiana Museum in Denmark yesterday. Amazing, absolutely amazing work!! Super interesting concept. The entire experience left me so emotional.
Sometimes I just watch this video. One of my favorite pieces I have seen in person.
This work hit a chord with me -- so much so that when I walk by SFMOMA now, I still lean toward the entrance, hoping to go in and take the elevator up to the top for one more blissful session... and rats; it's gone. I forget that and regret that, and I wish it somehow became a permanent installation.
It’s back!! For another year!
@@infradebbie I’ve seen it twice now!
@@peteralbert1485 that’s awesome!! I’m planning to go again, I just can’t get enough
I saw this at the Broad Museum today and I loved this...really did deepen my love for music cx
Misaki Ayuzawa I saw it Sunday, it was amazing!
Saw this at SFMoma, it was mind shatteringly brilliant. I'm getting goosebumps and happy flashbacks just watching it again
I saw this at the Broad, and I was completely blown away. I had never seen anything like it. The atmosphere the installation creates is just so unique and enjoyable. It truly inspired me.
saw this at The Broad two years ago -- stunning and cathartic
I saw it last December at the San Francisco MOMA. I was so captivated that I saw it 4 times, and made this video montage to commemorate the experience:

I saw it at the Broad this week. What an amazing work of art. It was memorizing. I like the smaller space and set up at the Broad - it felt very intimate.
Amazed that's it's still at the Broad. It's really good so I hope stays for a long time.
Incredibleeee words cant describe how this made me feel when i saw it in person
If you ever have the chance to see this, you MUST go!
Its so incredible to see mediums like this take centre stage in art. A lot of "art" artists I've met, and myself included as a voice, owe a lot of their outlets to not only to visual experiences but to sound and words. Art and music illustrate each other. This piece is lovely, it takes in the audience participation to build an environment, not directly contain the experience, let it weave through-out and dissipate, seep through back into it's own legacy made longer from what was captured.
Great reviews, yes, yes and yes. Rue, you perfectly capture what was so hard to articulate about this piece. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful!
Experienced this work in August during my first visit to the SFMOMA. It would be incredible to see this piece presented at the MOMA in NYC on the East Coast. All of the Soundtracks exhibits was inspiring, breathtaking, and sensational.
Even more so when you see the coordinated performance of the ensemble, which I tried to capture in this video montage:

They have their exhibit here in Calgary right now and it was a SURREAL experience. I wish I could’ve stayed a little longer inside the gallery. The feels, the nostalgia, the emotions. It’s beautiful work of art.
I saw it in Madrid thyssen museum today. I was really impressed after one hour watching incredible paintures, this was like go to paradise. The end, and The man were also incredibles.
This video barely captures the fascinating piece that this is in its entirety. There were so many screens, so much more sound, so much more build. So many more rooms, musicians, layers, etc. But the snippet took me back. I could not get enough of this installation at the SFMOMA. One of my fave shows ever...
I saw it in Milan ...it was amazing...I couldn't get out of that space..
I saw this in New York. It was nice to hear again.
I was able to visit this installation at least 4 times at the SFMOMA, one of my all-time favorites for that museum
me too! that whole sound exhibit was great but this room was other-worldly.
My son and I saw this in Boston when we were both going through hard times. It moved us and helped us through our pain. Beautiful.
It will take you out of yourself and to a wonderful place. I wished it would go on and on.
amazing
I saw it in person in SF MoMA and was totally mesmerized. So were the people who were there.
Saw this at the Phoenix art museum on a school field trip
incredible

I LOVE re-visiting this performance-installation-exhibition-event spectacle! And, yet, I do agree with "danielone" [below] that it felt far more epic when I viewed it in-person & live at SFMoma. Nonetheless, I'm this redux is 2nd-best.
Как это прекрасно! Если вы в Москве приходите на ГЭС2 там отдельная комната с этим шедевром
I wish it was the full art work, please please release the full The Visitors! BluRay???? Where you can switch between the screens? Please
I want the whole thing!!! I'm a member, now that it's going away Jan 1 will sfmoma post it?
I was wondering where it was going. I found out about it just yesterday and desperately want to share it with friends...
I understand that the Cincinnati Art Museum in Ohio will present the work from March 30 - June 17, 2018. Meanwhile, after seeing it 4 times at the SFMOMA, I made a video montage of the performance in its entirety:

There is also one other montage available
I absolutely wish this would be released! The vinyl record is available
Amazing!

Are these guys federasts?
I get that these are Icelandic artists doing their thing in 2012, but I felt like it was peak "Stuff White People Like" when I saw it a decade later. But hey, art can still be good even if the emotion it evoked in my case was disgust. Gave me some good food for thought on whether I'm unfairly labeling people as pretentious and out-of-touch, and how I relate to the pain of those whom I see as different.
Here's to hoping museums keep getting better at curating art for diverse crowds, including beret-wearing bohemians.
there is always that one guy...
Alright, 5 seconds, I'm bored.
