An old reworking commissioned by LACMA.

Later today Kanye West is expected to debut The Life Of Pablo, his long-awaited follow-up to 2013's Yeezus.

The movie honored Barbara Kruger, who discusses her art and "the arbitrariness of fame and prominence." "There are so many visual practitioners whose work we don't know," she says in the clip, "and the reason is sometimes brutally arbitrary." As she talks, Nicolas Jaar's rework of "Blood On The Leaves" fizzes softly in the background.
