Marina's Method

with an unbeliavable long cue the marina abramovic's milan week started yesterday at pac. the serbian artist engaged us with her "method". all of the participants and curators wear the same white doctor dress and the public is "spying" the performers with the help of binoculars and telescopes. 2 hours given by the almost famous to the Goddess of performance art. "I give you an experience if you give me your time" -that is the statement translated by young curator eugenio viola who follows marina at every step.
well..tonight the show moves on @lia rumma gallery where marina will sign books narrating her own life and death while thursday there will be the projection of the documentary "the artist present" at the Apollo.
I must say one can only admire marina's life (and death)performance. so stubborn, so consistent and so eternal that we might want to accept this latest glamourous twist with the likes of sozzani, corbetta, novembre, capasa, miscetti, cabello, visconte amongst the performers. here in Milan, the city where it all started.
