Lady Gaga Naked in Kickstarter video for Marina Abramovic Institute!  For the Lady Gaga Artpop album announcement, there was mention of the involvement of artists such as Marina Abramovic.  Now we see the fruits of collaboration between the two artists for the Marina Abramovic Institute kickstarter!

In the Lady Gaga naked video for Kickstarter, she stands and crouches in a forest.  She stands in a stream with a mask over her eyes of two spikes.  Gaga poses on a large crystal and curls up next to it.  She is attempting to demonstrate the Marina Abramovic method, which the artist says improves receptivity to performance art.

The Lady Gaga naked Kickstarter for the Marina Abramovic Institute has this to say about the project they are funding:

"Marina Abramovic Institute is dedicated to the presentation and preservation of long durational work, including that of performance art, dance, theater, film, music, opera, and other forms that may develop in the future. MAI will foster collaboration between art, science, technology, and spirituality, bringing these fields into conversation with long durational work. MAI will provide an educational space to host workshops, lectures, residencies, and research.

"A long durational work is any work (of performance art, dance, theater, film, music, opera, and others) whose performance exceeds six hours. The performer's use of time is a crucial element of this genre. By slowing down, lengthening, or repeating actions normally unexamined, a long durational work encourages both its performers and audience to step outside of traditional conceptions of time and examine what this experience means to them.

"The Abramovic Method trains audience members with the skills to observe and perform long durational works. The method is comprised of a series of exercises designed to heighten participants' awareness of their physical and mental experience in the moment. These exercises come from a belief that everyone can benefit from being more present with themselves and others. Over the course of Marina's career, she has dedicated herself to creating and experimenting with these exercises, and institute is an environment where others can experiment as well. "

The Lady Gaga naked kickstarter for the Marina Abramovic institute is less than halfway to their goal of over $600,000.  Abramovic says the project will take $20 million to complete.  With your pledge of $1, if you live in New York City, you can get a hug from Marina Abramovic herself.
