An artist that I admire


Hello classmates

I´m going to talk about Marina Abramovic is my favourite performance artist.
First of all, the performance art is opposite to painting or sculpture because is not the object the element constitutive of artistic work, but the subject.
Well, now…Marina Abramovic is a serbian artist and she made performances in the 70´s
I like her because she explores the limits between theartist and the audience, the limits the body and the possibilities of the mind.

Her most important performaces are rhythm 0, 2, 5 and 6. And the performances with Ulay. With whom she formed a collective called “The Other”. They used to dress and act like twins.

In the performance called “The Lovers” (1988) Marina and Ulay walked on the Great Wall of China, from their extremes to meet in the centre. 

Her last work was “The artist in the present” (2010). It is the retrospective exhibition at the MOMA. Marina also present a new performace. She was sitting for 716 hours on a chair with a table. In the other chair, different people seated and they looked into her eyes for a moment.

Well, I see you!!
