Mr. Bungle "Sudden Death" (Derek Cianfrance, dir.)

Film director Derek Cianfrance (The Place Beyond The Pines, Blue Valentine) lets loose with a retro VHS barrage of life, death and birth to match the Golden Age of Thrash sound from the reconstitued Mr. Bungle, now featuring Dave Lombardo, of Slayer fame, on drums, and Anthrax's Scott Ian on guitar, alongside singer Mike Patton and guitarist Trey Spruance, both of Faith No More, and bassist Trevor Dunn.

Jay Z "Picasso Baby" (Mark Romanek, dir.)

"I decided that I want to have a work that connects me more with the public, that concentrates … on the interaction between me and the audience.

I want to have a simple table, installed in the center of the atrium, with two chairs on the sides. I will sit on one chair and a square of light from the ceiling will separate me from the public.

Anyone will be free to sit on the other side of the table, on the second chair, staying as long as he/she wants, being fully and uniquely part of the Performance.

I think this work [will] draw a line of continuity in my career."

- Marina Abramovic, artist [in a letter to her curator about her 2010 MoMA show The Artist Is Present]
