MFA, Madonna, social media, vogueing, thunderstorms, oh my

Thanks to our ongoing weathertastrophe, the Museum of Fine Arts has postponed its big outdoor karaoke party from tomorrow to July 8 at 6:30 p.m. in front of the MFA’s grand façade on Huntington Avenue. The Boston debut of "Queen (A Portrait of Madonna)" by Candice Breitz, featuring 30 people singing to “Vogue,” will be projected on the front of the Museum. The Museum is hoping for a big crowd to vogue and sing along. And the exhibit will be free and open till 9:45 that night. "Queen" is part of a new exhibit, "Contemporary Outlook: Seeing Songs," opening at the MFA tomorrow and featuring a variety of international artists, "explores the inspiration visual artists have derived from music" in a variety of mediums. (It seems the MFA never tires of Herb Ritts.) In the interests of promoting it all, the MFA is stepping up its social media efforts on Facebook and has posted a Flickr set full of photos of museum staff and visitors striking vogue poses. That's Museum Director Malcolm Rogers and his executive assistant Ann Ghormley at right. Anyone else thinking caption contest?
