Marina Abramovic

  • Marina Abramović’s
    'The Artist is Present' is a performance retrospective at MoMA, New York, from March 14-May 31, 2010.

    The exhibition covers the artist's work which spans four decades of performances, sound pieces, video works, installations and photography. The focal point of the retrospective is the artist herself, who for the duration of the exhibit, installs herself on a chair, seven hours a day, six days a week, without any breaks.
    In this piece for FLY16x9, Abramović sat down with director Howard Silver, as she was preparing for her retrospective, to discuss her life's work, as well as her thoughts on the future.
