With the tenth anniver­sary of David Bowie’s demise com­ing up ear­ly subsequent yr, quite a lot of followers may have their minds on a pil­grim­age to mark the occa­sion. Per­haps with that very time-frame in thoughts, the V&A East Retailer­home in Lon­don has simply opened the David Bowie Cen­ter. Run by the Vic­to­ria and Albert Muse­um, to which Bowie left an archive of about 90,000 of his pos­ses­sions, this new insti­tu­tion will present a number of hun­dred of these arti­details at a time, and even make a spread of them avail­ready on request to vis­i­tors. As for what precise­ly is in there, Jes­si­ca the Muse­um Information makes a quick sur­vey of the Bowieana cur­hire­ly on dis­play in the video above.

Among the fea­tured objects, just like the fits Bowie wore in his movies for “Life on Mars?” and “Let’s Dance” or the crys­tal ball he held aloft as Jareth the Gob­lin King in Labyrinth, might be rec­og­niz­ready even to casu­al Bowie appre­ci­a­tors. Longer-term followers will certain­ly rec­og­nize the out­landish however ele­gant Kan­sai Yamamo­to-designed cos­tumes that visu­al­ly outlined per­son­ae like Zig­gy Star­mud and Aladdin Sane, the Alexan­der McQueen-designed Union Jack frock from the cov­er of Earth­ling, and per­haps even the met­al angel wings Bowie donned onstage dur­ing the excessive­ly ambi­tious however much-derid­ed Glass Spi­der Tour of the late 9­teen-eight­ies.

Going deep­er, there’s additionally the Sty­lo­cellphone, a sort of toy elec­tron­ic instru­ment from the late six­ties, that Bowie used on “House Odd­i­ty” (and needed to repur­chase on eBay); the far more professional­fes­sion­al-grade EMS go well with­case syn­the­siz­er giv­en to him by Bri­an Eno, which he used on the “Berlin tril­o­gy” albums they made togeth­er; the per­son­al deck of Indirect Strate­gies, co-cre­at­ed by Eno, that exhibits indicators of inten­sive use in Bowie’s personal cre­ative course of; his cor­re­spon­dence with Let’s Dance professional­duc­er Nile Rodgers (a cura­tor of the Bowie Cen­ter’s cur­hire exhi­bi­tion), about their sec­ond album Black Tie White Noise; and mate­ri­als from Omikron: The Nomad Soul, the com­put­er sport to which he con­tributed music in addition to a dig­i­tized per­for­mance within the late nineties.

The col­lec­tion that Bowie donat­ed to the V&A already got here care­ful­ly orga­nized and cat­a­loged, which exhibits a metic­u­lous­ness uncom­mon to rock stars, and a delib­er­ate­ness about not simply cul­ti­vat­ing his pub­lic picture at any giv­en cul­tur­al second, but additionally lively­ly curat­ing the mate­ri­als of his personal his­tor­i­cal nar­ra­tive. It appears Bowie at all times had one eye on the previous: his personal, in fact, but additionally extra dis­tant eras, wealthy with dis­used aes­thet­ics to revive and make his personal. The oth­er eye he stored on the long run, espe­cial­ly because the inter­web was develop­ing right into a cul­tur­al power. The David Bowie Cen­ter has his per­son­al notes on the sub­ject, which embody a ref­er­ence to BowieNet, the inter­web ser­vice supplier he discovered­ed across the flip of the mil­len­ni­um. BowieNet is now lengthy gone, in fact, however Bowie’s lega­cy — espe­cial­ly now that it’s been insti­tu­tion­al­ly enshrined and made so acces­si­ble to the pub­lic — will out­final us all.
