Kanye West and Steve McQueen's film collaboration to have U.S. debut
Rapper Kanye West and filmmaker Steve Mcqueen's video collaboration is set to make its U.S. debut at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Saturday (25Jul15).
The Stronger hitmaker and the 12 Years a Slave director joined forces for a piece called All Day/I Feel Like That, which will run in a gallery for four days at the famed California museum.
The single shot nine-minute video was filmed at a dockyard in
England, and features West as he evades being captured by an
unknown entity by running through an empty warehouse.
The short film features clips of West's track All Day and I Feel
Like That, both songs from his forthcoming album, SWISH.
LACMA contemporary art curator Franklin Sirmans tells The New York
Times that the exhibition was made possible after McQueen was
invited to the museum to give a public talk. Plans for the event
fell through, so the director offered to have his West
collaboration screened instead.
Their All Day/I Feel Like That piece had its world premiere during
Paris Fashion Week in March (15), when it also screened for four
days.
