Marina Abramović on Performance (1 of 3)

Marina Abramović has changed art. The preeminent performance artist of our time, her pioneering exploration of the genre began in the mid-1970s and continues to this day. Last year, the Serbian-born artist's work was celebrated in a retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art. In the title piece, The Artist Is Present, Abramović sat motionless in the museum's atrium every day for three months; the simple act of confronting her public for the exhibition's duration, without uttering a word, captivated viewers and brought many of them to tears. CHF is pleased to partner with the University of Chicago's Smart Museum of Art in bringing one of the 21st century's most widely-recognized culture makers to Chicago. In this CHF event, Abramović gives a lecture on performance and its future, reflecting on this provocative and enduring art form.

She is such an amazing inspiration. She is completely consumed in her art and work and doesn't apologize for it. I love her commitment and honesty.

I wonder if she lost a lot of students by blind folding them & making them find their way back to the house. 😄 They also did this in Butoh training taking the person out to rice fields blindfolded.

I love her perspective on art. But her application and practice of it is a major miss for me

She is trying to convince the fools she is saint and not satanic.

[@TheDancingRomeo]

It's sick how these fools thinks that what she does is considered "art,". It's not. It's a perverted and sick way of communicating her occult beliefs and rituals.

[@liloroi8424]
