On the occasion of 'Performative' her new exhibit at SeanKellyNY, we spoke with MarinaAbramovic about why young artists should never compromise, her 50-year career, and living in the present.
. The exhibition reflects Abramović’s decades-long obsession with the audience-artist relationship—but this time, she’s turned her focus to younger generations, who are highly skilled in the art of performance themselves. Below,spoke with Abramović about why young artists should never compromise, her 50-year career, and living in the present. “Don’t ever call me the grandmother of performance art,”MARINA ABRAMOVIC: I’m just putting some oat milk in my tea.
ABRAMOVIC: You know, retrospective isn’t really the right word—I think of retrospectives in museums. It was more of a compilation—to see very early work and new work and everything in between. Basically, I showed four different sides of my work. So many young people have never seen these works. I wanted to give the public an opportunity to reflect on the moment in which we are living. I don’t want to say retrospective because it just sounds so definite.
MACIAS: That was my next question actually. For a lot of people, including myself, this is the first chance to experience your work in person. Was it intended to draw in younger crowds? What do you want them to take away from this?ABRAMOVIC: No, they came by themselves!They came with my books for me to sign. I could hardly walk through the gallery, from talking and taking selfies. They hug me and I hug them and we all get very excited. But for me, it was very important to show art from.
MACIAS: And you’ve done so much. Like you said, there are so many kids following you now, what advice would you give an aspiring performance artist?
