Marina

“Because in the end you are really alone, whatever you do.”

Marina Abramović is a Serbian ( she prefers ex-Yugoslav ) conceptual and performance artist. Her work explores body art, endurance art, feminist art, the relationship between the performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind in relation to transcendental meditation and non-verbal communication.

First coming to limelight with her "Rhythm" series of performances and Works with Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen) in the 1970s, she continued with her evocative and metaphor filled works "Cleaning the Mirror", "Spirit Cooking " and "Balkan Baroque" in the 1990s. One of my personal favorites is Rhythm 0, performed in Naples 1974, which in Marina's own words, left her feeling like a "Madonna, mother and a whore"

"Seven Easy Pieces" presented at the Guggenheim Museum , NYC beginning 2005 and "The artist is present" presented at Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in 2010 catapulted her further into the stratospheric echelons of performance art folklore.
