Live Arts - Marina Abramovic: The Artist is Present - A Film by Matthew Akers
September 19, 2012
Comment on Facebook
Marina Abramovic has been a groundbreaking and controversial force in performance art for forty years. In 2010 a major retrospective of her work at New York’s MoMA featured her most recent performance, The Artist Is Present, in which audience members took turns sitting silently across a table from Abramovi? and making eye contact for as long as they like. Marina performed for over seven hundred hours, sitting motionless for seven and a half hours a day, moving her always-changing audience variously to introspection, emotional outburst, and tears.
This mesmerizing documentary film begins in the final throes of planning for the retrospective, providing an intimate insight into Abramovic, and follows through the run of her extraordinary performance.
