Radiohead fan experience in Brooklyn

Radiohead’s “Motion Picture House” opened at the Agger Fish Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard on May 15, giving New York a limited-run version of the band’s “KID A MNESIA” installation. The project is built around the world of *Kid A* and *Amnesiac*, the albums Radiohead released in 2000 and 2001, and it turns that material into a 75-minute film-and-gallery experience. Time Out New York included it in its May 18-24 list of things to do in the city this week. The Brooklyn run is scheduled to continue through June 28, according to the event’s official site. ### What exactly opened in Brooklyn? The Brooklyn Navy Yard installation is a physical version of “KID A MNESIA,” the virtual exhibition Radiohead released through Epic Games in 2021, according to Time Out. The new edition occupies the Agger Fish Building and adds galleries, projected visuals, distorted architectural elements and a custom surround-sound presentation built around Radiohead recordings. (timeout.com) The official event site says the visit combines a 75-minute movie with gallery spaces that audiences can explore before or after the screening. The soundtrack uses a new mix drawn from the *Kid A* and *Amnesiac* multitracks and is rendered in six-point surround sound. ### Why are fans calling it a Radiohead “experience” rather than a concert? Radiohead’s own event page says “Motion Picture House” is “a large-scale audiovisual installation and art gallery,” not a live performance. (timeout.com) The same page says, in a separate FAQ entry, “Will Radiohead be performing? No.” Time Out reported that the galleries feature large-scale artwork by Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood, Radiohead’s longtime visual collaborator. (kida-mnesia.com) That framing helps explain why the event has been listed alongside immersive exhibits and city culture picks rather than standard concert listings. ### What do visitors actually get with a ticket? Each Brooklyn visit is sold in a two-hour slot, the official site says. (kida-mnesia.com) Within that window, the film runs 75 minutes and the remaining time is left for gallery access at the visitor’s own pace. Brooklyn ticket prices are listed at $72.43 before local tax on the official site. The event is all-ages, there is no reserved seating, and guests may stand or sit on a cushioned floor on a first-come, first-served basis, according to the same FAQ. (timeout.com) Merchandise is also available to ticket holders at the venue. ### When is it happening this week? AXS lists Brooklyn dates on Thursday, May 21; Friday, May 22; Saturday, May 23; and Sunday, May 24, with additional dates continuing on a Thursday-through-Sunday pattern into June. (kida-mnesia.com) Time Out’s weekly New York guide separately flagged the Radiohead installation as one of the city’s featured events for May 18-24. Time Out reported that tickets are sold in timed two-hour slots Thursdays through Sundays. The listing advises readers to check current schedules directly when booking, which is consistent with the AXS event page showing date-by-date availability. ### How long is the Brooklyn run, and where does it go after New York? The official “KID A MNESIA” site lists Brooklyn from May 6 through June 28, 2026, at the Agger Fish Building. (axs.com) After New York, the installation is scheduled to move to Chicago from July 30 to Aug. 23, then to Mexico City from Oct. 27 to Nov. 15, before a San Francisco run beginning Jan. 14, 2027. Time Out said the Brooklyn stop followed an earlier appearance at Coachella this spring. (timeout.com) For New York visitors, the next concrete milestone is June 28, the listed end date for the Brooklyn engagement, with tickets and screening times posted through the event’s official site and AXS.
