What is it about Lady Gaga that is inspiring artists? It was announced that the Paparazzi singer will be a part of an art performance piece presented by the prestigious Bolshoi Ballet and artist Francesco Vezzoli.

The piece will be a part of the Los Angeles’ Museum of Contemporary Art’s 30th anniversary gala. Artist Vezzoli is convinced the piece it will be a “surreal dream”.

He says of the upcoming performance, “They (MoCA organisers) basically offered me a social ritual as a blank canvas to be turned into an artwork. Some artists might see this as a nightmare, but for me it’s like a surreal dream, and in true surreal style I wanted to mix together the youngest and most daring pop icon, Lady Gaga, with the oldest and most classically trained group of dancers in the world, the Bolshoi Ballet.

The output will be flawlessly imperfect and unpredictable, just like any overambitious happening should be”.

Performance art IS Lady Gaga. Much like Dita von Teese, there is no stage for the persona she has created. She IS this new person all the time, and is always performing. The partnering of Gaga with art and the ballet, though obviously used to grab interest in MoCA’s anniversary, is a PERFECT combination and I cannot wait to see what they all come up with.
