Following her Manchester performance The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic with actor Willem Dafoe, singer-songwriter Antony Hegarty and director Robert Wilson, Abramovic has been named to direct LA MOCA's annual gala in November. The fundraising event has become something of an art world extravaganza. Last year Doug Aitken created an immersive, multimedia project that included a set by Devendra Banhart, and in 2009 Francesco Vezzoli created a spectacle that included Lady Gaga performing on a Damien Hirst-painted piano.
