	Interperformance: the live tableaux of Suzanne Lacy, Janine
		Marina Abramovic's art-life performances share with the work of Antoni and Lacy an engagement with the haptic dimensions of aesthetic connection.
		While the aspirational engagement of Abramovic's work has been characterized by practices that test her limits and transform her, on the ontological level her concern has been to establish an aesthetic frame that intensifies processes of embodiment.
		Abramovic made a distinction between cultural tourism as a kind of voyeuristic exploitation, and "using" people of other cultures, and going to one place for a long time, involving oneself there, forming relationships, and letting something happen.

	Marina Abramovic
		Abramovic uses her body to manifest sources of conflict and suffering, and spectators invest these cultural traces with unpredictable personal significance.
		Abramovic first re-performed The Lips of Thomas in European and American theatres and opera houses in 1993 as part of a work called Biography, which used a recorded autobiographical narrative to contextualize the brief re-enactment of many of her early art actions.
		Abramovic, for example, told Janet Kaplan that she heard as a young artist in Yugoslavia that Chris Burden was arrested after being crucified on a Volkswagen that was driven around Los Angeles.

	Marina Abramovic: Venice Biennale 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Abramovic's installation "Balkan Baroque" which she calls a play, is made up of a triptych of video screens reminiscent of church icons.
		Alternately, the screen switches to Abramovic in the outrageous character of a typical Balkan tavern singer who amuses her audience with dancing and folk melodies from Serbian and Romania.
		Abramovic's approach is both tragic and wildly ironic as the dance hall songs and the title "Balkan Baroque" implies.

		Marina Abramovic’s Count On Us – a work replete with spooky, haunted house imagery of skeletons, flness, and the United Nations – is straight-up Abramovic.
		Those familiar with Abramovic’s art are used to seeing her engulfed in flames, or nude, or bloody, or covered in puncture wounds.
		Marina Abramovic has spent much of her career using politically charged images while claiming to be uninterested in politics per se, at least as an artist, usually obscuring the specifics of her own politics.

		I first met Marina in 1977 when she and Ulay, her then partner in art and life, had wedged themselves into a doorway at the entrance to the Galleria Comunale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Bologna during its performance festival.
		She also has the rare ability to be in the present and to pay perfect attention to her surroundings.
		Marina and I were the only ones from our group who attended the ceremony, and it was then that I realized we also shared a fascination with death and strange customs, the stranger the better.

		Abramovic, appearing in a traditional Balkan costume, tries to precipitate rain by massaging her naked breasts as she looks imploringly to the sky.

		The exhibition is comprised of a major new perfomance "The House with the Ocean View" which the artist describes as the most important one of her career to date, "Dream Bed" - a sculpture the public can use and "Stromboli" - a new video installation.
		Each work demonstrates part of Abramovic's concern with creating works that ritualize the simple actions of everyday life like lying, sitting, dreaming, and thinking; in effect the manifestation of a unique mental state.
		Marina Abramovic, born in 1946 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, is without question one of the seminal artists of our time.

	Marina Abramovic: Sean Kelly Gallery - Reviews: New York ArtForum - Find Articles
		Marina Abramovic's The House with the Ocean View, 2002, may well be one of the most important live artworks of the decade, but not for obvious reasons.
		Without a single word, and with a minimum of means, Abramovic created a deeply existential drama on the nature of living in the "here and now," as she refers to the present tense.
		Abramovic's script, composed of only a set of restrictions--no food, no talking, no reading, no writing--was posted on the wall at the gallery entrance and executed with the concentration of a religious acolyte.

		Marina Abramovic: When I first came to Middlesborough and saw the space (a former doctor’s surgery), even though it was a gallery space, it had a homely feeling.
		Marina Abramovic: It is very interesting when I first met, Pipilotti Rist (a Swiss video artist) I loved the construction of her installations but they are often too much like MTV.

		But while the catalog shows the trajectory of Abramovic's career, the interview is concerned mostly with her pieces from the 1990s to 2000, focused squarely on her later preoccupation with the body, the shamanistic properties of her chosen materials, and their contribution to the work's meaning.
		The catalog is organized to manifest the gradual change from Abramovic's demands on her own body as a performance artist to her desire to engage the public in an experience.
		Abramovic hit upon the idea while she was walking along the Great Wall of China; she realized that it was the first time that she was doing a performance without an audience.

		Abramovic’s act of whipping her own body can be regarded as an expression, almost a scream of her who had carried national ressentiment as a slave in history.
		Abramovic, who left because of cultural and political reason (Abramovic wanted to influence the culture outside of Yugoslavia), does not have her mother country anymore.
		Abramovic, placed at the top of the dress, opened both hands wide, and was turning the upper part of her body, and looked around earnestly in every direction.

		Abramovic: During the piece I felt the architectural idea of the piece was a mistake because I wanted it to be raised so it would emphasize that it would be difficult for me to go down.

		She bites it, text begins: 'I'm tired of changing planes so often, waiting in airports, in train stations, in bus stations, I'm tired of waiting for endless passport controls...') In performance there is a process, there is always a beginning, middle and end, so we had to rush through that video.

		Marina Abramovic: Actually, my area of interest is no longer in testing the body, like I and everybody else did during the body art movement of the seventies, which had a lot to do with pain and injuriousness in order to push the body to its border, even to the border between life and death.
		Abramovic: It’s a problem with art itself: there are different levels of communication in anything you see.
		Abramovic: There are many primordial images of us that can be rationally known, but act as archetypes in a way that we can intuitively recognize, even without knowing their meaning.

		The most well known pieces she revived were Vito Acconci’s “Seedbed” in which he masturbates under the floor (while talking) and a Beuys piece in which he mimics giving instruction to a dead hare.
		Reportedly one crazed audience member rushed the “stage” during one piece (Marina was posed like Patty Hearst as Tanya, only in this case her leather trousers below the machine gun she cradled were completely crotchless.) The guy was stopped before he could reach her.
		Marina is from Montenegro, bordering on Serbia, so one can feel the anguish of recent history — history still playing itself out.
