Gaga Homage to Digilev Ballets Russes or Francesco Vezzoli : Ballets Russes Italian Style
The artist presents an exhibition exploring his iconic performance piece with Lady Gaga and dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet. The highly visual performance took references from Le Bal (1929), the only one of the Ballets Russes’ performances that was designed by Balanchine in collaboration with an Italian artist, the Surrealist Giorgio de Chirico. Vezzoli collaborated with others to conceive every detail of the interior space, which included a piano artwork by Damien Hirst and costumes by Miuccia Prada, to create a “living, breathing artwork.” The elaborate work combined the different genres of video, petit-point embroidery, photography, and live performance.
