French artist and Madonna friend JR was recently invited by the New York City Ballet to create a large-scale art installation for their 2014 Art Series, on view at three special performances on January 23rd, and February 7th and 13th.

MDNA dancer Lil Buck is also part of the project, and Madonna posted this image from the rehearsals on her Instagram today:
