Photo by: Bruce Yamakawa ARTRUBY caught up with Kirsten Dunst in Los Angeles during a Golden Globe weekend and we had to ask about her experience of collaborating with Takashi Murakami and McG on Pop Life: Art in a Material World.
“It was one of the most amazing creative experiences ever,” the actress told us. “Who doesn’t want to run around in costume with Takashi? He’s just very kind and inspiring. My only regret is that I couldn’t really experience the work at The Tate. So I enjoyed it at home on my computer!” Does she have any more forthcoming art collaborations? “Not at the moment, but I did direct a short video on my own. But it’s hard to top Takashi.”
