Moderna Museet | Marina Abramovi? - The Cleaner 18 Feb - 21 May 2017
Visit the event's website
Date: Sat 18th Feb 2017 to Sun 21st May 2017
At once radical, controversial and revered, Marina Abramovi? is one of the most discussed artists today. Famous for her groundbreaking performance works, she continues to expand the boundaries of art. This exhibition is produced in close collaboration with the artist and marks her first major retrospective in Europe.
In her work Marina Abramovi? explores the intersection between performing and visual art, with a focus in equal shares on body and time. Since the early 1970s she has continued to develop and expose a field of art other than the object based to a wider audience. Drawn from public and private collections, including that of the artist, the survey includes works from the earliest years, solo and with Ulay, until today: film, photography, paintings and objects, installations and select archival material.
The work poses questions of power and hierarchy yet is rarely overtly political. Her practice sometimes demands of us that we let go of a linear sense of time or an autonomous individuality. And yet personal experience and responsibility are central in her performances, seeking the core of notions like loss, memory, pain, endurance, trust. Marina Abramovi? addresses fundamental issues of our existence in ways that may both provoke and move us.
Marina Abramovi? was born 1946 in Belgrade, and is currently based in New York.
Re-performances will be performed daily in the exhibition, and 27 February–5 March a brand new performance by the artist will take place at the Eric Ericson Hall.
Curator: Lena Essling
