    Lady Gaga on Crutches: In her multi-faceted perfor Lady Gaga on Crutches:
In her multi-faceted performances, a collage of opera, rock concert, spin class, fashion and photo shoot, Lady Gaga pushes boundaries and forces audiences to think differently. She is also famously active and supportive of marginalized groups such as the LGBTQ community. In her recent appearances at Coachella Festival, California and Copacabana Beach, Brazil, while singing, ‘Paparazzi’, the singer ambulates across the stage utilizing shinny metal crutches before forcefully throwing them away. The singer’s recent medical issues with her legs and how she struggled to overcome adversity may well have inspired this ‘Gladiator-like’ costume choice. But seeing Lady Gaga normalizing mobility aides in front of an audience of two million was bold and refreshing, making crutches seem almost sexy. I’ve always been impressed with Gaga’s music and advocacy and it felt to me like she was embracing the disabled community and normalizing the use of mobility aides while subtly encouraging all of us to, “be and believe in yourself”.

Artist in Residence

Graduating from College and separating from his college sweetheart in 1980, a bit like a rudderless ship, Gregory traveled to the American Virgin Islands to sort himself out. In St. Croix, he wandered the white sand beaches and camped under palm trees and catamarans. On his 3rd day on the island he was alone on a beach drawing when a man approached and asked to see Gregory’s sketches. The man was the owner of the small hotel and restaurant up the beach and invited Gregory in for a beer. He looked over Gregory’s sketches and proposed an arrangement, commissioning Gregory to do artwork for the small hotel in exchange for a roof over his head. It was a win-win situation and Gregory’s first Artist in Residence.

Since 1999, to add a unique offering to an establishment, Ang Arts and Gregory Burns have been successfully engaged by nearly forty premium resorts, cruise lines and residency programs throughout the world as the Artists in Residence with the view to raise the status of the institution and the profile of Gregory’s artwork. Gregory has been free to create numerous series of paintings in exotic locations which leads to a solo exhibition onsite. Often times visitors gain access to a practicing artist in their studio and have the opportunity to take painting classes. In several cases media coverage of the residency and the resulting series of artworks has been extensive (CNN, CNBC, Shanghai TV). Ang Arts has also produced many videos of these residencies that are posted on social media platforms.
