Marina Abramović on Performance (2 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 will give a lecture on performance and its future, reflecting on this provocative and enduring art form.

I want to know this, too! In the video Marina says it's called "the monologue" but I can't find the piece anywhere.

I find this is fantastic material but I am being regular person I find the performance at 8:00 is a bit scary if I see anyone with spaced teeth that lips that eyes that eyebrow and that hair with such a pale skin making that face I will surely scared to death.
