Episode 21: The Abramović Method

Performance ArtArt History

Jul 16

Written By Elene Kadagidze

Here’s the thing: performance is intentional. To be present in the moment, Marina Abramović teaches artists and audiences alike that 'performance' requires commitment, passion, focus, strength, and a little bit of instability. Find out what the Rhythms are; how InfoWars decided to take interest in her work'; why Abramović had "an artist should avoid falling in love with another artist" as a part of her manifesto; and, how David Blaine offered to kill Abramović for the finale of The Artist is Present. She's the best.
