Radiohead Spectacle in Brooklyn Teems with Paintings, Sculpture, Film

Even after the recent addition of a Wegmans and Wells Fargo gave the entrance the sanitized shine of a suburban shopping center, it would be hard to overstate the strangeness and surreality of the inner parts of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The post-industrial buildings at eye-popping scales hiss and wheeze, and everything in the expansive grounds covered with toppled cobblestones and disused train tracks has the air of a haunted sanctum. (Think “The Zone” in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker.) All of that makes it perfect for Radiohead, which is presenting a multimedia installation, exhibition, and screening experience called Motion Picture House KID A MNESIA at the Navy Yard through the end of May. It’s a seven-minute walk from the gated entrance to the building that serves as its site, past mysterious alleyways and a network of giant silver pipes that are the city’s most mesmerizing source of drone aside from La Monte Young.

It ain’t funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you don’t get to appropriate it without a fight. “Also, go f*** yourselves,” the band continued before signing off, “Radiohead.” It is not the first time this month the band’s members have found themselves at odds with the Trump administration.

Radiohead at the O2: ‘Their most gleeful, hit-packed set in memory’

The setting might be ripe but, back even a few months ago, the chances of seeing Thom Yorke, Jonny and Colin Greenwood, Philip Selway and Ed O’Brien grace a stage together before 2025 was through seemed highly unlikely. It’s been seven years since their last shows, and eight since they played on UK soil. The band still now (to public knowledge) have no new material in sight. Just last year, Yorke declared that he “didn’t really give a flying fuck” if people were crying out for a comeback or not. In the interim, meanwhile, the musician has also faced his own criticisms for deciding to perform in Israel (he later clarified his stance, declaring the war in Gaza a “humanitarian catastrophe”).
