Beyoncé Secretly Filmed Scenes From Disney+’s “Black Is King” At East Hampton’s Guild Hall

East Hampton is home to countless celebrities throughout the summer, including 24-time Grammy Award-winner Beyoncé, her equally successful husband Jay-Z, and their beautiful children – who reside in a spectacular $26 million East Hampton estate. Turns out, the luxurious real estate market wasn’t the only thing that attracted Queen B and her family to the East End. The intriguingly vibrant Hamptons museum scene complimented Beyoncé’s maturing career and vision as an artist.

A scene from her newly released visual album, Black Is King, was filmed in East Hampton’s Guild Hall Moran and Spiga Museum Gallery during last summer’s exhibition, Ugo Rondinone: Sunny Days, that took place from August to October of 2019. You can view the works by renowned Swiss artist, Ugo Rondinone’s featured sun-themed sculpture and paintings in the film. Another East End filming location that made a cameo in Black Is King was Sylvester Manor Educational Farm on Shelter Island.

The new film, based on the music of The Lion King: The Gift, premiered on July 31, 2020, two weeks after the one-year anniversary of the theatrical release of Disney’s global phenomenon, The Lion King, which stared Beyoncé as Nala. Black Is King reimagines the lessons from the 2019 blockbuster for today’s young kings and queens in search of their own crowns—written, directed, and executive produced by Queen B herself, exclusively available for streaming on Disney+.

As per usual, Beyoncé’s outfits did not disappoint—first in a gold-adorned dress and headpiece, then changed into a zebra print suit, shorts, and bodysuit—while performing the song Already in the Moran Gallery amidst Rondinone’s “sun sculptures” and gilded rings cast from vines and placed at alternating angles in the gallery. The Parkwood Entertainment production crew took over the entire facility, with the exception of the John Drew Theater, which managed to usher in 700 people for two sold-out magic shows without anyone suspecting that Beyoncé was in the galleries filming this powerful project.

Similar to his other solo exhibitions at art institutions across the world, Ugo Rondinone uses the circular vine as a symbol of renewal because of its life cycle, reminiscent of the solar cycle. The theme of rebirth and renewal was reflected throughout Black is King with golden rings referencing the “circle of life” from the story of The Lion King. “Ugo Rondinone’s visually arresting exhibition at Guild Hall caught the eye of Beyoncé and her team because of Rondinone’s ‘sun sculptures’ (golden rings) and the thematic relationship to the cycle of life in The Lion King. I understand that Beyoncé, Jay-Z and their daughter Blue had previously visited Rondinone’s long term public art work, Seven Magic Mountains in the Nevada desert, and are admirers of the artist’s work,” Guild Hall Executive Director, Andrea Grover noted.

For nearly nine decades, Guild Hall has been one of the Hamptons’ leading art establishments—revolutionary in combining a museum, theater, and education space all under one roof—continuing to embrace their open-minded mission to provide a welcoming environment for art, artists, and the public to enjoy. Guild Hall never fails to find innovative ways to support creativity in everyone, clearly displayed with them being a part of this impressive collaboration with Beyoncé and Disney+.

Guild Hall is located at 158 Main Street in East Hampton. For more information on Guild Hall, visit www.guildhall.org.

  • Local Klyph Black and His 50 Years of Live East End Music

There is a musical elegance when watching Klyph Black perform on stage, whether alone or with longtime buddy John Sparrow. There is no doubt that being a musician is his life’s passion. His soul is connected to music from the tones and licks of the blues masters to the chords and songs of the Grateful Dead. He also has a body of original works including a newly released collaboration with another east end legend, Joe Delia, available on iTunes titled, “All Night Blues.” However, Klyph has been both a witness and a participant of the last 50 years of live music scene on the east end.

  • Talkhouse Encore Bottles Up the Stephen TalkHouse Experience

The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett is an iconic bar that has been putting on major national acts. Over 65 members of the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame have played there and every year more notable acts are added to the roster. In 2020, along with so many, the Talkhouse was rocked when the pandemic hit. The doors were closed and the soda streams were turned off. It was during that scary and lonely time that Ruby Honerkamp came up with the idea of Talkhouse Encore, a RTD canned cocktail that would bring the endless party experience to everyone around the world. @talkhousebar @talkencore

  • East Hampton Town Airport Drama Continues

East Hampton Town Airport never had the opportunity to enact its plan to close and reopen the airport under new usage rules last May 17th. At the last minute an injunction paused that plan from going into effect. As of now it is business as usual. New reports have the EH Town officials exploring ways to legally shut down the airport. One has to wonder is this what they really want or is this a ploy that has originated because of the frustration of not being in actual control of the outcome of their own town asset?
