Jay Z streams HBO “performance art piece” film Picasso Baby
As previously reported, Jay Z performed a single song off his new Magna Carta Holy Grail for six hours straight at an art gallery for a new HBO project called Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film. That aired last night, and is now available to stream online.
Jay performed the fittingly-titled ‘Picasso Baby’ at New York’s Pace Gallery (a feat we’ve seen done before by a certain New York indie band), with the likes of film director Judd Apatow, Girls actor Adam Driver, Pablo Picasso’s own granddaughter Diana Widmaier Picasso and performance artist Marina Abramović all in attendance.
“Concert’s are pretty much performance art, but the venue has changed,” begins the rapper in the clip, before performing face-to-face with each of those in the crowd.
