Kanye West video to be screened at art gallery in Los Angeles

After Steve McQueen’s harrowing drama 12 Years A Slave won the Oscar for Best Picture, he likely faced the same existential crisis that greets any artist who has received one of the highest honors bestowed in their field: Where to go from here?

Filmed in a single nine-minute take at the Chatham Dockyard in southeast England, the video follows Mr. West through an empty warehouse as he runs, crouches, dodges, raps, rants, sweats and trousers, as if being pursued by the camera or the police or in pursuit himself, until he slumps against the wall to catch his breath. West is the focus of the video, which shows him running like he’s being chased. Along with creating a clothing line for Adidas and making notable appearances at fashion weeks around the world, West put out the short film Runaway in 2010, which features music from his album My lovely Dark Twisted Fantasy.

No word on if the McQueen-directed visuals will get the Vevo treatment. This spring, West was given an honorary doctorate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. “Static” is a digital projection he made in 2009. McQueen offered a special screening of the video after not being able to fulfill a request to give a talk.

The title of the installation is believed to be a reference to West’s single “All Day”, which was released this year. (The latter is yet to be released by West, but appeared on the leaked SWISH track list that surfaced on Reddit recently).
