Performance artist Marina Abramovi?, whose 2010 installation The Artist Is Present inspired Jay Z's 2013 music video Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film, revealed that she is now angry with the way the collaboration turned out. She recently told Spike Magazine, "I am very pissed by this, since he adapted my work only under one condition: that he would help my institute. Which he didn't." She went on to say that she and the rapper had a meeting where she gave him permission to use her work only if he helped her draw attention to her work. As Fact magazine noted in 2013, the rapper had met with the artist and agreed to an unspecified donation to the Marina Abramovi? Institute. A rep for Abramovi? said at the time that Jay Z "intends to offer the institute some other form of ongoing support" in a "long-durational collaboration."??
