Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli (b. 1971, Brescia) presents an exhibition of his iconic performance piece with Lady Gaga and the Bolshoi Ballet in 2009.
Vezzoli took references from Le Bal (1935), the only one of the Ballet Russes ever to be designed by Balanchine in collaboration with an Italian artist, the Surrealist Giorgio de Chirico. Vezzoli collaborated to conceive every detail of the interior space, the piano-art work by Damien Hirst and the costumes by Miuccia Prada to create a ‘living, breathing artwork’. The work included an elaborate combination different genres of video, petit-point embroidery, photography and live performance.
