Beating It: MFA Karaoke and a Surreal Vision of the 80s

Just beating it. (C. Fernsebner)

Yesterday, the Museum of Fine Arts hosted a karaoke party on its doorstep. It was a collective karaoke that saw Bostonians from every corner of the city singing hits from the 80s (and one Beyoncé track) in an uncertain chorus of badly harmonized voices. The event commemorated the Boston debut of Queen (A Portrait of Madonna), Candice Breitz's video that presents footage of 30 people simultaneously singing "Vogue" a cappella.

Bostonist kept a respectful distance from the ensuing dance riot, but we did manage to get a few photos.
