Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
An art world icon and a performance art pioneer Marina Abramovi has captivated audiences by pushing the limits of her body and mind, for the past 50 years. Marina Abramovi Hon RA has earned worldwide acclaim as a performance artist. She has consistently tested the limits of her own physical and mental endurance in her work, subjecting herself to exhaustion, pain and even the possibility of death. In her early work Rhythm 0, Abramovi invited audiences to freely interact with her however they chose famously resulting in a loaded gun being held to her head. Her later work The House with the Ocean View saw the artist live in a house constructed in a gallery for 12 days. Held in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, the performance invited audiences to witness and share in the simple act of living. This major exhibition presents key moments from Abramovis career through sculpture, video, installation and performance. Works such as The Artist is Present will be strikingly re-staged through archive footage while others will be reperformed by the next generation of performance artists, trained in the Marina Abramovi method. Live performance art can be both startling and intimate. For Abramovi it also has the power to be transformative. Experience this yourself through performances of Imponderabilia, Nude with Skeleton, Luminosity and The House with the Ocean View. Different works will be reperformed during the run of the exhibition, so no two visits will be the same. Before you visit the exhibition, please note: A full schedule of performances is available. Please note, these timings are subject to change. Photography and filming of the live performances is not allowed. Find out more about our photography policy. This exhibition contains nudity and art works relating to mortality and the threat of harm. Please contact us for more information. Download our large print guide. #MarinaAbramovicRA
