Pharrell Talks Art With Jeff Koons & Embarks Upon 24 Hours Of "Happy"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Pharrell discusses art as a dialogue of acceptance with Jeff Koons and embarks upon 24 Hours Of Happy in the latest from his iamOTHER channel. Koons talks about finding inspiration in everyday objects and details the demise of Made In Heaven - a series inspired by his ex-wife that he began to destroy during a messy divorce, despite its importance to his greater body of work. He explains the catharsis involved in the process and talks affirmation and abstraction. Pharrell's chat with Koons arrives alongside a series of videos anchored by "Happy" - Pharrell's standout from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack - that finds the Star Trak founder leading an epic sing and dance-along to the infectious track in what is being billed as the world's first 24-hour video. Check the footage below to watch Pharrell's interview with Jeff Koons. Scroll down to see the first of the 4-hour "Happy" clips. Check for the full series via iamOTHER.
