Marina Abramovic - The Artist Is Present
Installation view of Marina Abramović’s performance The Artist Is Present
at The Museum of Modern Art, 2010. Photo by Scott Rudd. For her longest
solo piece to date, Abramović sits in silence at a table in the
Museum’s Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium during public hours,
passively inviting visitors to take the seat across from her for as
long as they choose within the timeframe of the Museum’s hours of
operation. Although she will not respond, participation by Museum
visitors completes the piece and allows them to have a personal
experience with the artist and the artwork. © 2010 Marina Abramović.
