West, unfazed by woman’s confrontational performance, seems to enjoy ‘Why Won’t You Let Me Be Great!!!’ By Jim Cantiello Kanye West Photo: Astrid Stawiarz/ Getty Images NEW YORK — Just hours before surprising fans by joining Clipse on stage at the Diesel party, Kanye West was sitting in the small Performance Space 122, watching a group of downtown performance artists pay tribute to his latest album 808s & Heartbreak. In the new show, (named after a quote from one of Kanye’s fiery blog posts), post-modern dancers, video artists and cabaret legends reinterpret West’s highly personal 2008 album in fresh, and sometimes controversial, ways. The show kicked off with an experimental animated film called “Say You Will (Kanye West at the Scale of My Household)” by Karinne Keithley, who is also renowned for her performance of Guns N’ Roses Miniature horse figurines, snail shells and sweater buttons twirled around while 808s opener “Say You Will” was performed by female vocalists who sounded like avant-pop group CocoRosie
