On a fittingly dreary evening in a fittingly industrial corner of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Radiohead’s Kid A Mnesia Motion Picture House opened its two-month New York run on Wednesday.
The fact that a healthy crowd assembled for the immersive multimedia art installation at the Agger Fish Building — a warehouse that, somewhat recently, has been a hub for marine products, though it has none of the smells this background would suggest — despite the less-than-ideal circumstances was a testament not just to Radiohead’s continued relevance, but the way that its visionary 2000 masterpiece Kid A and its almost-as-good 2001 follow-up Amnesiac still resonate with audiences.
Kid A Mnesia debuted at Coachella last month, in a bespoke 17,000-square-foot bunker with 38-foot ceilings that promoter Goldenvoice built beneath the festivalgrounds specifically for the installation. But naturally, the star power of headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G, not to mention the lineup’s deep roster of buzzworthy artists, dominated headlines following the Southern California fest. With multi-week runs lined up in Chicago, Mexico City and San Francisco through January 2027, the band is now offering fans the opportunity to immerse in the exhibit without ponying up for a three-day festival.
Much of the material at Kid A Mnesia isn’t new, per se, and traces back to the 2021 reissue campaign of the same name that featured the 2000 and 2001 albums, plus a disc of additional material from the sessions. The installation’s centerpiece is a 75-minute film — which premiered in 2021 as a download for PS5, PC and Mac — directed by Sean Evans and featuring the art of frontman Thom Yorke and the band’s longtime visual associate Stanley Donwood. Much of the art contained in the film, and posted in the rooms adjacent to the larger area where it is screened, appears in the 2022 book Kid A Mnesia: A Book of Radiohead Artwork.
But for Radiohead diehards – and newcomers interested in one of the most singular rock artists of the last four decades (on Wednesdays, the event offers a 30% discount for students) — the exhibition presents all of this media in grandiose scale, allowing total immersion into the era that many fans and critics consider to be the band’s peak. Read on for the best moments from Kid A Mnesia. (For those planning a visit to Kid A Mnesia, this post contains minor spoilers about the exhibit and film.)
