The Abramovic Method Practiced by Lady Gaga from Marina Abramovic Institute on Vimeo.
Earlier this week we heard Lady Gaga singing about burquas, but now we can see her birthday suit. In a video just released on Vimeo, the iconic performer bares all as a practitioner of the Marina Abramovic Method. (Don’t worry, we had to Google it, too. She’s a renowned performance artist whom Gaga admires.)
According to the note on the site, Gaga spent three days last week at a retreat in upstate New York, where she was instructed in “a series of exercises designed to heighten participants’ awareness of their physical and mental experience in the present moment.”
Apparently this requires one to prance around outdoors naked and blindfolded. The two have formed a mutual admiration society, it seems, as last Saturday the ladies performed a marathon reading of the classic sci-fi novel Solaris.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Anything to sell a new crappy music, right Stefanie? Go away, please, just go away. F-U “Gaga”? When will your homophobic and bullying rants be published? Soon, I bet. You’ll be the new Paula Deen of music!!!!!

I love this! Marina Abramovic was also involved with the performance piece that Jay Z recently released on HBO for Picasso Baby. Loving these collaborations between mainstream music and the art world! So ready for ARTPOP!

So weird. I don’t get it. I really don’t.
I love her, though.

Whelp… I guess she proved she doesn’t have a wiener. Other than that I really don’t get why she’d post this.

Female media wh’ore seeks attention. Willing to pose nude for money.

There is something mundane about the use of nudity here. I appreciate the normalizing of it.

@oilburner: Where were you when the saggy old titty and wrinkly stretched out scrotum guys sitting around naked in San Fran restaurants stories were posted? Please biotch.

@Wingfield: I don’t know why either, but to extend on the “proof she doesn’t have a wiener”, that’s a good point. I haven’t heard anything about that rumour recently, but a couple years back it was all I heard about. All my friends would tell me it’s true, they’ve seen proof. but their proof was ridiculous internet photos that were either obviously fake or not even lady gaga. I for one thought that rumour to be ridiculous.

Being naked outdoors is liberating… I would know. The vdieo looks like some Kill Bill training lesson tho lmao

At this point Gaga yelling and running nude is sort of boring. I think being the toast of the town and then having Adele arrive made her very loopy. She certainly didn’t like sitting on her ass at the Grammys every time Adele went to the stage.

Well props to the 27 second breath hold even if she’s not actually singing the note.

I do not look at her with clothes on; Why the H##l would I want to look at her naked?

I’m not shocked that some of you are to simple minded to understand what she is doing. Marina Abramovic is very well known in the performance art world, and Gaga has a new album ARTPOP which by definition she wants to blend art and pop music into one. You don’t have to “get it” that is the point of art, it is all perceptual. For those who said they didn’t want to see her naked- it is clearly stated in the title so why did you come into this post and then bitch about it. Seriously you people will hate on anything, especially someone who has spent time in her career and dedicated it to giving you and your rights a voice. It never ceases to amaze me at how many people try and bit the hand that has helped them. Don’t like her music? don’t buy it. Don’t like her as a person? don’t click on the posts about her. Get a life beyond trolling and bitching.

@rawrlee: Why are you spewing common sense here like it matters? This is Queerty, queen central. Go to Towleroad, or some shit. The trolls get shut down in 5 seconds.

“HEY-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y…!” Some ideas for her next video. Her hip surgery came out well, I see.
