Lady GaGa to Take Part in Museum Exhibit

Lady Gaga has always maintained that her concerts are performance art. And so in her lace-veiled view, it's entirely logical that she'd be performing at Museum of Contemporary Art's 30th anniversary gala in L.A. on November 14 with the Bolshoi Ballet and artist Francesco Vezzoli.

Vezzoli says of the upcoming performance: "They 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 performance will take many references from Le Bal (1935), the only one of the Ballets Russes ever designed by Balanchine in collaboration with an Italian artist, the Surrealist Giorgio de Chirico. The output will be flawlessly imperfect and unpredictable, just like any overambitious happening should be.”

Lady Gaga and dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet will be performing the world premiere of "Speechless", a song from The Fame Monster.
