Author: Abramovic, Marina
Codesigned by the artist, this fascinating volume charts Marina Abramovic’s lifelong exploration of spiritual practice via her lengthy durational performances and the related significance of portals and gates throughout history and cultures. This title guides readers through the artist’s “private archaeology” of artworks, cultural artifacts and anthropological writings that explore transitional states of being. It includes interviews with the artist and new works developed following a residency.The gate is a structure that enables, Abramović says, “the entrance from one world to another”; the portal “transports you to a different state of consciousness.” Abramovic's recent residency at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford informed the concept for her exhibition at Modern Art Oxford—for which the gallery became a site of passage proposing movement between states of consciousness, with visitors themselves becoming the performers.
ISBN 9783753303147. Walther König, Köln. hb. 248 pages. 115 colour ills. 21.6 x 14.6 cm.
