Next week, Zane Lowe will leave BBC Radio 1 for Apple, and he's scored none other than Kanye West for what may be his last major interview. Lowe famously hosted what many consider to be one of Kanye's best interviews ever in 2013. And the new interview lives up to that hype — Kanye even invents a word! Speaking for 40 minutes, Kanye touches on Drake, Paul McCartney, his new album, and more. At one point, the interview has to be stopped when Kanye breaks down in tears while speaking on the death of Central Saint Martins professor Louise Wilson.On his new album: "The College Dropout came out of a fight to want to rap. This new album's coming out of a fight to want to design. It's a joyful noise unto the Lord. It is still the struggle, but it's the beauty from the struggle — like the song...

Kanye West teared up during a candid interview with BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe on Thursday.
The 37-year-old rapper got super emotional when talking about Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design's late fashion design professor Louise Wilson.
News: Kim & Kanye Build Palatial Playground for North
"The last time I saw her we had dinner at Hakkasan, my favorite restaurant in London," West recalled. "I think she knew she was going to pass, and she just wanted to give me some words of advice to move forward. She was asking me about my daughter. She was asking me about my wife."
Wilson passed away in her sleep last May at the age of 52, but before departing, she left West with this wisdom.
"She said: 'So many students, they don't give it their all,'" he told Lowe. "'As soon as they do something good at 2 years old, 3 years old, their parents...

Kanye West is showing his sensitive side. In a Tweet on Thursday, the rapper said he's sorry to Beck for interrupting his Grammys speech and saying the alternative singer should have handed his award to fellow nominee Beyoncé to "respect artistry." (To be fair, Beck never seemed bothered by the stunt, telling reporters he admirers both Yeezy and Bey.) I would like to publicly apologize to Beck, I’m sorry Beck.— Kanye West (@kanyewest) February 26, 2015 The mea culpa seemed to open the floodgates for the controversial star, who also Tweeted an apology to "Uptown Funk" singer Bruno Mars - and proposed a musical collaboration.

Kanye West is just showing an entirely new side to him today—or at least, a side the public may not have known existed. The outspoken rapper exhibited a softer side during his emotional BBC Radio 1 interview with host Zane Lowe, where he actually broke down into tears when discussing one of his mentors, late fashion professor Louise Wilson. But that wasn't the end of it. Yeezy also touched on the infamous outburst following the Grammys where he slammed Beck for winning Album of the Year, explaining that he misconstrued what happened with musician. He expressed his opinion and takes the weight but says maybe he was wrong. "The Grammy's sell commercial time. It's a ridiculous proposition...

You never know how Kanye West's deep emotional reservoir is going to manifest itself. Today he required a break right in the middle of a BBC Radio 1 interview when he choked up and then quietly started to cry while discussing one of his mentors, late fashion professor Louise Wilson. "Last time I saw her," West recalled, taking a deep breath, "we had dinner at Hakkasan, which is my favorite restaurant in London. And I think she knew that she was going to pass, and she just wanted to give me some words of advice moving forward, and she was asking me about my daughter, asked me about my wife...and she said, you know, 'So many students, they don't give it their all, and the problem is, soon...

Turner nominated artists The Wilson sisters, Louise Wilson and Jane Wilson, have been in Rotterdam this weekend for the international premiere of their new piece Undead Sun, originally presented in London’s Imperial War Museum last year.
Undead Sun sees the Newcastle-born sisters investigating the uses of disguise and camouflage in war. They regard the film as a natural successor to their 2011 work, Face Scripting: What Did the Building See. This was about the assassination of Hamas commander Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh by Mossad agents in a Dubai hotel.
“It was looking at CCTV and looking at covert imagery,” Jane Wilson says of a film which explores how contemporary warfare has moved from old fashioned battlefields into the luxurious confines of a modern, upmarket hotel. “What we were thinking about was how technology has developed through facial recognition and through use of CCTV.”

The director talks artists' film and video, from advances in technology to moving-image art being taken more seriously
Hi Steven, can you tell us a little bit about Film and Video Umbrella?
Film and Video Umbrella (Fvu) produces, presents and promotes artists' work with the moving image. The projects we commission are made more for gallery exhibitions than the cinema circuit, and by people who probably went to art school rather than film school! But that distinction aside (and it's not an absolutely hard-and-fast one) our brief is pretty wide-ranging, stretching from the experimental fringes of the film avant-garde to the new horizons opened up by the internet, social media and digital technology.
I've been director for just over 20 years and, in that time, the organisation has grown from a small-scale two-person operation to become the leading commissioners of artists' film and video in the country, with almost 200 projects to our name now,...

From Chernobyl to the room where a Mossad assassination took place, Jane and Louise Wilson capture the aftermath of atrocities. Adrian Searle feels haunted

On 29 April 1986, three days after Reactor Unit 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power station went into meltdown and exploded, Vladimir Shevchenko gained access to the site and filmed the ongoing disaster. He shot some of his film from a helicopter, passing directly over the burning reactor. Viewing his footage later, Shevchenko discovered that portions of it were seriously degraded. At first he thought the film stock was faulty; it turned out that the aberrant flashes and blips, and the static on the soundtrack, were the invisible crackles of radiation itself, made visible on the photographic emulsion. Those who were at Chernobyl at the time said that they could feel the radiation, like pins and needles on their skin.

I'm sure I'm not the only one out there that wants Kanye's scheduled Paris Fashion Week show go terribly, terribly wrong (Taylor Swift, for one, agrees) but it turns out the rapper-turned-asshole-turned-desinger might just have derailed his own line before it's even staged. Though he interned at both Fendi and Louis Vuitton, it seems Mr. West hasn't acquired any of the technical skills it takes to design a full Fashion Week collection. That, and he's not exactly heralding the process from start to finish.
Rolling Stone reports one rumor that says "interns and students from Central St. Martins have been surreptitiously constructing the line under West's command (his own design skills are admittedly more theoretical than technical). Ever since West confirmed his womenswear line was an actuality, a strong connection between his project and the school has been suggested. Though she won't openly admit it, insiders still insist that Louise Wilson,...

While Kanye West hasn't yet achieved James Franco levels of involvement across the spheres of culture, he's getting there: rumors abound that he's working on his debut collection of women's wear, supposedly readying it for New York Fashion Week this September. Kanye is apparently maintaining studios in both East London and New York, and has hired knitwear rock star Louise Goldin to oversee design. He's also brought another Louise, "style dictator" Louise Wilson, into the fold as his personal tutor. Kanye's been a front-row fixture at fashion events for years now. Some of his previous contributions to the world of fashion include some spectacularly ugly and stupidly expensive Nikes, some... uh, ostentatious silk scarves, and last but not least, a humble internship at the Gap. Also, he once unloaded this quote on an unsuspecting world: "I won't go into [...]...

He is already, in the words of the immortal Ray Davies, a "dedicated follower of fashion," but is Kanye West planning to take his love of all things haute couture to the next level by enrolling in a noted school of design?
According to U.K. tabloid The Sun, the answer is yes. In an article published Saturday, the newspaper reported that West has applied to London's prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design — whose alumni include Stella McCartney and the late Alexander McQueen — to study for a Master's degree in fashion.
The paper also reported that West flew to London last week to meet with the head of the College's fashion program, professor Louise Wilson, "a style dictator" with a feared reputation within the industry.
