Holding On To The Fascination

Marina Abromovic's amazing performance art exhibit has ended, I report...sadly. During the 4 months (I think) while she was at the MOMA, I would leisurely take a stroll a few blocks and visit her and the other artist's once in a while when I had the time. The energy I received from the crowd and the exhibit inspired and motivated me. It opened up a space in my mind and fascinated me to the core, although I never did muster up the courage to sit at her table and stare into her intensity. Anyway, for those of you who want more of Marina, and just can't let go of it all, check out Personal Archaeology at Sean Kelly Gallery through June 19.

The Hipster on Abromovic

A couple weeks ago I posted the Unknown Hipster blog. I'm happy to see he's posting again, but I a most happy that he has posted about Marina Abromovic's exhibit. Yes, there has been a lot of talk about the show, as there really should be! I have chosen to not blog about the show, even though I really have wanted to, but felt I could never describe it perfectly enough with out sitting down in front of my computer trying to write the most perfect eloquent post, which would take me,ummmmm... all day! To me the show was that good, that I don't even want to touch it by writing about it, if you know what I mean. I'll leave that to the professional writers. Marina Abromovic's exhibit moved me tremendously, and I won't say anymore because it's something that one has to experience for themselves, because everyone will take away from it something different I'm sure. But check out the Unknown Hipster's blog, he writes a bit about the experience of the exhibit, and his renderings are delightful!
