Bjork is expected to swing into the city for two consecutive nights of DJ sets on Oct. 25 and 26.
Those performances will follow a showcase of all five of Bjork’s virtual reality projects and a retrospective of her work as a musician and composer starting Oct. 15.
A version of the travelling exhibition has been seen at the Museum of Modern Art and venues in Sydney, Tokyo and London.
French-Canadian pianist Jean-Michel Blais will also collaborate with Grammy-nominated electronic performer CFCF for a live concert (Oct. 5), while there will be a chance to boogie under the mirror ball in tribute to Montreal’s vibrant disco scene (Oct. 21).
The Red Bull Music Academy runs from Sept. 24 to Oct. 28.
