Attraversare i muri
Attraversare i muri: unautobiografia | Marina Abramovic
25 posts | 20 read | 24 to read
Nel 2010, in occasione della retrospettiva che il MoMA dedic a Marina Abramovi?, pi di 750mila persone aspettarono in fila fuori dal museo per avere la possibilit di sedersi di fronte allartista e di comunicare con lei senza dire una parola, in una performance senza precedenti durata pi di settecento ore. Una celebrazione di quasi cinquantanni di performance art rivoluzionaria. Figlia di genitori comunisti, eroi di guerra sotto il regime di Tito nella Jugoslavia postbellica, Marina Abramovi? fu cresciuta secondo una ferrea etica del lavoro. Agli esordi della sua carriera artistica internazionale viveva ancora con la madre e sotto il suo totale controllo, obbedendo a un rigido coprifuoco che la costringeva a rincasare entro le dieci di sera. Ma nulla pot placare la sua insaziabile curiosit, il suo desiderio di entrare in contatto con la gente e il suo senso dellumorismo. Tutto ci che ancora oggi la contraddistingue e d forma alla sua vita. Al cuore di Attraversare i muri c la storia damore con il collega perfomance artist Ulay: una relazione sentimentale e professionale durata dodici anni, molti dei quali passati a bordo di un furgone viaggiando attraverso lEuropa, senza un soldo. Un legame che arriv al drammatico epilogo sulla Grande Muraglia cinese. La storia di Marina Abramovi?, commovente, epica e ironica, parla di unincomparabile carriera artistica che spinge il corpo oltre i limiti della paura, del dolore, dello sfinimento e del pericolo, in una ricerca assoluta della trasformazione emotiva e spirituale. Esso stesso straordinaria performance, Attraversare i muri la rappresentazione vivida e potente della vita di unartista eccezionale.

"Walk throught the walls" is Marina Abramović's memoir. I had very basic knowledge about her work so I decided to read this book when I stumbled upon it in the library. I have read it in a day! So interesting! It has definitely helped me to better understand Performance and Conceptual Art.

To be honest, I had no clue who Marina Abramovic is till I read this book. This was unlike any other autobiography I've read, I actually found this to be a page turner.

Nute I‘ve never heard of her. Thanks for sharing this information! I want to know more about her now! 5y

S. 25 Die Kindheit von Abramovic liest sich wie eine Gruselgeschichte. Sie wurde von ihrer Mutter geschlagen und von anderen Kindern gehänselt. Trotzdem ist sie nicht gänzlich zerbrochen, sondern hat ihre Kindheit in Stärke verwandelt. #Abramovic #Autobiografie #Kindheit

Die Biografie von Marina Abramovic ist faszinierend. Sie erzählt von ihrer Kindheit im kommunistischen Jugoslawien und vom langwierigen Prozeß, sich von der strengen und prüden Mutter zu trennen. Man kommt der großen Künstlerin ganz nah. Sie erklärt ihre Performances und man versteht die Grenzen, die sie dabei überwinden musste. Sind ihre frühen Projekte von Schmerz und Gefahr geprägt, sind spätere Aktionen konzentriert und ruhig.

Hey Marina, I'm not really sure I'm picking up what you're putting down, but you're endlessly fascinating! I'm thoroughly enjoying Abramović's memoir despite my lack of familiarity with performance art

Marina Abramovic is a fascinating woman. Also maybe more than a little crazy. I'm not saying that because of any of her performance pieces, but more because she thinks she communicated telepathically with Aboriginal people in Australia and believes in all kinds of weird crystal stuff. if you think she's a dangerous satanist you should probably avoid the book but otherwise you might find the look into the beginnings of performance art interesting.

This memoir was everything I would expect from a talented and interesting artist like Abramovic. She tells the stories of her troubled childhood in the former Yugoslavia that clearly show how she was shaped to embrace the discipline and darkness required for her art. She describes many of her former performance pieces and her travels are envious. This memoir is not for the faint of heart, but I recommend giving it a try!

Owlizabeth Is this the woman who stares at people? 8y
Julz422 @Owlizabeth she's a performance artist! She has a thing at Moma where people could sit in front of her if that's what you mean 😂 8y

Hilariously, she was just talking about how she had a very short-lived job as a mail carrier. She decided to only deliver the mail which was hand-addressed. She threw away everything else, "especially the bills."

charl08 No wonder it didn't last long! 8y
SaintUrsula Never hire an artist to deliver the mail! 8y
