Marina Abramovic is now 60 years old and still looks like 40. Yes I know that is not the most important to mention at first when you write about such a great contemporary artist, but look at her! She is gorgeous! But now back to the real thing: her art! Abramovic is one of the most discussed, controversial and devoted performance artists ever. Her oeuvre is a wide range of border experiences of the body, very often linked with risk for her life and safety. Her biggest project jet was a retro perspective of her work in the MOMA in 2010. there she instructed others to redo her old performances. And she managed to sit still on a chair each day of the exhibition. This performance run under the name of "The Artist is present". the preparation for the exhibition was captured in the documentation film: "Marina Abramovic - The Artist is present". 

Her work is very often a reminder for the presence of a human in the world and that a human should be aware of this. Well at least in my opinion. Also her performances channel the performer and work to make the artist and the audience aware of the space around them. Her work is also widely open to interpretation and is very exquisit. 

Well the interpretation of that is pretty hard. The nudity of hers maybe says that the performer needs to be nude to be vulnerable to really experience the world. Well work it ad gag on the complexity of that performance. Also Gaga is steaming hot!  I also think that performing without spoken word is a thing reminding us that communication is more than words. Its sound and movement. Also Gaga has blended senses out, like her sense of sight. So she experiences the world differently. Come along Gaga and Abramovic also experiment with the notion of the sense of human life in the chair scene. For me it is very nihilistic. 

Well lets come to the latest video of Abramovic promoting her institute. It features Lady Gaga as Gaga will feature Abramovic in the ARTPOP era. The video is called:
