Marina Abramovic Institute: The Founders by Marina Abramovic Institute (Main and virtual tour videos directed by Milica Zec) Marina Abramovic Institute is dedicated to the presentation and preservation of long durational work, including that of performance art, dance, theater, film, music, opera, and other forms that may develop in the future. MAI will foster collaboration between art, science, technology, and spirituality, bringing these fields into conversation with long durational work. MAI will provide an educational space to host workshops, lectures, residencies, and research. (Video directed and edited by Milica Zec) If successful, this Kickstarter will cover the first phase of MAI's development: the design process. In total, $20 million is needed to complete renovations of the institute and begin operations. A single person, no matter how successful or passionate, cannot single-handedly fund and sustain a cultural institution of this size. We aim to create a global community of collaborators and want you to be part of it. (Drawing by Cassandra Long)
Bauhaus About Marina Abramović | Marina - A Documentary Film about Marina Abramović Marina Abramovic, born in 1946 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, is without question one of the seminal artists of our time. Since the beginning of her career in Yugoslavia during the early 1970s where she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade, Abramovic has pioneered the use of performance as a visual art form. The body has always been both her subject and medium. Exploring the physical and mental limits of her being, she has withstood pain, exhaustion, and danger in the quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. Abramovic's concern is with creating works that ritualize the simple actions of everyday life like lying, sitting, dreaming, and thinking; in effect the manifestation of a unique mental state. From 1975 until 1988, Abramovic and the German artist Ulay performed together, dealing with relations of duality. In 2005, Abramovic presented Balkan Erotic Epic at the Pirelli Foundation in Milan, Italy and at Sean Kelly Gallery, New York.
Sea of Skin Powerful Portraits of People Crying 7 minutes If a stranger sat silently across from you and stared straight into your eyes, what kind of emotions would you feel? Or, better yet, how long would it take before you broke down and cried? In 2010, at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, world-renowned performance artist Marina Abramovic put on The Artist is Present, or what's been called, "a milestone in the field of performance art." She sat silent and still, "like a mountain," and stared into the eyes of anyone who was brave enough to engage with her. Last year, a book was released called Portraits in the Presence of Marina Abramovic that showed the wide variety of feelings and emotions participants ended up displaying. A Tumblr blog brings the most heartbreaking photos all together in once place. 164 minutes 45 minutes 29 minutes 28 minutes 26 minutes 18 minutes 14 minutes 12 minutes 11 minutes 10 minutes 9 minutes 8 minutes 5 minutes 3 minutes 2 minutes Marina Abramovic Made Me Cry
Movement Performance Art Marina Abramovic, créatrice en Art corporel. Eléments d’une biographie 1Marina Abramović est née à Belgrade en 1946. Elle étudie à l’Académie des Beaux-Arts de Belgrade de 1965 à 1970 et choisit rapidement l’Art corporel. Elle s’est lacérée, flagellée, a congelé son corps sur des blocs de glace, pris des produits psycho-actifs et de contrôle musculaire, elle s’est mise en danger. Cependant, le but de cette artiste n’est pas le sensationnel. 2Ces actions se veulent des rituels de purification, conçus pour sa propre libération. Clio : Pour commencer, nous souhaiterions vous demander si vous vous considérez vous-même comme une sorte d’héroïne dans le domaine de l’art, ou si, tout simplement tous les artistes, tous les performeurs ne sont pas des héros ? MA : C’est une question vraiment très complexe car, pour ma part, en tant que personne privée, je ne me considère pas du tout comme une héroïne,en aucune façon car cela supposerait que je me place dans une position égale à celle d’un artiste avec un grand A. Clio : La création est-elle un acte héroïque ?

New York, printemps 2010. A l'affiche du célèbre Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) : Tim Burton et Henri Cartier-Bresson. Massée devant le musée, la foule, chaque jour plus dense, n'est pourtant pas venue pour ces deux-là mais pour Marina Abramovic. Voilà maintenant près de quarante ans que Marina Abramovic réactive l'art corporel, jusqu'à devenir la papesse internationale de la performance. « La grand-mère », corrige-t-elle. Nous l'avons rencontrée au palais Garnier, où elle prépare le Boléro de Ravel avec Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Quand vous êtes-vous réellement sentie vivante ? Mes parents appartenaient à « la bourgeoisie rouge ». Le documentaire d'Akers parle peu de vos parents. A quoi ressemblait la scène artistique de Belgrade en 1970 ? Je dis toujours que je viens d'un pays qui n'existe plus. La Yougoslavie a éclaté depuis.
