From November 13, 2014, through March 1, 2015, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents the first showing in Spain of Rineke Dijkstra’s work The Krazyhouse (Megan, Simon, Nicky, Philip, Dee), Liverpool, UK (2009), the third installation to appear in the Museum’s Film & Video Gallery dedicated to video art, video installation, and the moving image.

The Krazyhouse is a multi-channel video installation consisting of four screens on which five teenagers dance for the camera against a white background to the music of their choice. Rineke Dijkstra (b. 1959, Sittard, Netherlands) met the young people at an iconic Liverpool club called The Krazyhouse and recorded them in an improvised studio on the premises. The three-quarter-length shots of these teens are interspersed with close-ups of their faces that show us their expressions in striking detail. The five performers differ not only in their choice of music—pop, heavy metal, or techno—but also in their personal appearance and the way they move before the camera.
