Presented in conjunction with the upcoming exhibition Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities, this multi-platform retrospective\u2014including a film series as well as kiosks showing music videos, interviews, concert footage and other audio-visual documentation\u2014will run from May 9 to July 15, 2011.

David Bowie has been a major figure and force in music, film, fashion, art, and a multitude of creative disciplines over the last five decades. With an innate ability to shift and shape his persona, style, and creative direction, Bowie has crafted a powerful fusion of music, culture, and other performance practices\u2014one that has become the blueprint for contemporary artists working in performance.<\/p>\n

With training in mime from Lindsay Kemp, and roots in avant-garde theater, cabaret, and musical-based performance, Bowie merged these diverse disciplines into his highly influential character project: an otherworldly creature with bright red hair, a sparkly suit and platform shoes named Ziggy Stardust. Raising stagecraft to new heights in the 1970s with his rock spectacle cum tour, which synthesized theater, video, art, and music, Bowie pushed the boundaries of performance.<\/p>\n

During his meteoric rise to superstardom, Bowie continued to work on and off the screen, taking memorable roles in film and theatre. He impressed critics and audiences with his turn on Broadway in \u201cThe Elephant Man,\u201d and his many onscreen roles most notably as a humanoid alien in \u201cThe Man Who Fell To Earth,\u201d a goblin king in \u201cThe Labyrinth,\u201d a British officer in \u201cMerry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence,\u201d and as Andy Warhol in \u201cBasquiat.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to working as a film actor, a fine artist, and collaborating on music videos, Bowie has also been an Internet pioneer. For these endeavors, in 2007, he received a Webby Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.<\/p>\n
