'Kraftwerk - Retrospective 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8' at the MoMa in New York

The Museum of Modern Art in New York, also known as MoMa, will present a chronological exploration of the sonic and visual experiments of Kraftwerk with a live presentation of their complete repertoire in the Museum's Marron Atrium, and this over eight (yes, 8 !!) consecutive nights (April 10-April 17).

Each evening will consist of a live performance and 3-D visualization of one of Kraftwerk's studio albums. The albums to be played will be "Autobahn" (1974), "Radio-Activity" (1975), "Trans-Europe Express" (1977), "The Man-Machine" (1978), "Computer World" (1981), "Techno Pop" (1986), "The Mix" (1991), and "Tour de France" (2003).

Kraftwerk will follow each evening's album performance with additional compositions from their catalog, all adapted specifically for this exhibition. A presentation of Kraftwerk's historical audio and visual material will also be on view at MoMA PS1, April 10–May 14, 2012.
