Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present, w. CD-ROM
Since the beginning of her career, in Belgrade in the late 1960s,
Marina Abramoviæ has been a pioneer of performance art, creating
some of the most important works in the field. This catalogue
documents approximately fifty of the artist's ephemeral time -
and media-based works from throughout her career, including
re-creations by other performers and a new work performed by the
artist for the exhibition. The volume spans more than four decades
of Abramovic's interventions, sound pieces, video works,
installations, photographs, and solo performances as well as her
collaborative performances with the German artist Ulay (Uwe
Laysiepen).
An accompanying CD with audio commentary by Abramoviæ guides the
reader through the book.
