Lil Buck dances through Matisse and Picasso at Fondation Louis Vuitton
American dancer Lil Buck and British director Andrew Margetson have created a video in which Buck performs a graceful dance through the galleries of the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. The video showcases the exhibition 'Icônes de l'art moderne. La Collection Chtchoukine,' which runs until February 20, 2017. This is the first time the extraordinary collection assembled by Russian patron Sergei Shchukin has been displayed in a single venue and opened to the public. Buck, combining autobiographical narration with elegant dance steps, guides viewers through the museum designed by Frank Gehry and featuring an intervention by Daniel Buren, pirouetting among masterpieces by Matisse and Picasso like a living sculpture.
