Another uneasy response was immediately thinking of those memes of Puff Daddy standing in front of the Mona Lisa, etc. Art was being used to signify status with no meaning outside of cultural capital and luxury. It's not the responsibility of the artists featured nor the director to give each painting its proper due, but I did feel like the art was only being used as a backdrop in this case. ![]() Now, obviously JAY-Z and Beyoncé looking at art at the museum would be a really boring music video (though I would love to be a fly on the wall to overhear their conversation about the Mona Lisa). Art is not merely a photo-op, and posing in front of art is reducing it to a backdrop. People photograph everything, look but don't see, understanding very little of context. My second thought, and I'm not proud of this, was, ruefully "cool, more museum selfies." One of my pet peeves is, in spite of how many visitors there are in museums, how little time people actually spend looking at the art. I'm less sure about this current project. The relationship between Julie Dash and Arthur Jafa's Daughters of the Dust and Beyoncé's Lemonade was, to my mind, a brilliant way to incorporate art in a music video, elevating the music and, in some ways, highlighting the artistic inspiration. The video itself is gorgeously shot, and does show a continued interest in art on behalf of the artists, JAY-Z and Beyoncé, to engage with art (notable precursors being JAY-Z's "Picasso Baby," and Beyoncé's use of David Hammons and Richard Prince in “7/11”). My first reaction, was being thrilled that art was being featured in a music video at all. Sadly, all the fuss was over nothing, as Beyonce and her entourage landed in Newcastle shortly after 1pm.First of all, what were your initial reactions to the “APESHIT” video? Twitter account North East Live Traffic posted a clip of their feed, writing: "I think we can just make out Beyonce and Jay-Z at the beach," to which Steve and Karen replied: "There they are!! We can see them," but with a laughing emoji. It also became quite a talking point on Twitter, with one fan posting: "NA apparently Beyoncé was on Roker beach 7am same time I was this morning !!" Sunderland being at the top of Bey's Insta profile was something fans never thought would happen and then things took an even more unexpected turn, when a call came into Steve and Karen's Breakfast Show on Metro Radio to claim that Beyonce, her famous other half, children and bodyguard Julian were taking a stroll on Roker beach, around 7am.Ī Beyonce fan who headed straight to the coast to try and catch a glimpse of Beyonce confirmed the rumour to ChronicleLive, although they didn't manage to see her.
