Very interesting MoMA exhibition of performance artist “Marina Abramovi?: The Artist is Present”. Abramovi? is seated at a table in silence, where visitors of the museum can sit across from her and stare for a length of their choosing. The exhibition site shows a video stream of the event daily, and portraits of each visitor can be seen here.
This seems like an incredibly fascinating and intense experience. Speaking of intense, here’s a tumblr titled Marina Abramovic Made Me Cry, where you can see some of the people who, according to the site, “couldn’t handle the heat.” Will Bryant would probably be on this site if he went to the exhibit.
The show is going March 14—May 31, 2010.
