#Two4Tuesday

1) I love a good museum. The Blasket Centre is a museum of the Blasket Islands and the stories of its inhabitants until the last one left. Dunquin, Ireland. I‘ll also give a shout out to the Portland Art Museum. It‘s a fine way to spend an afternoon.

2) The tagged book was on an #AuldLangSpine list a few years ago.

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView

Want to play @Blueroseis @LiseWorks @PageShifter

TheSpineView You're welcome and thanks for playing 2mo
LiseWorks Oh dear, I don't do museums. Mostly because they are far from me. I prefer the museum of nature. The outdoors. 😏 2mo

4+/5 ⭐

Non mi ha reso Marina Abramović più simpatica (che non è il suo scopo, essendo una biografia), ma decisamente più comprensibile.

It didn't make me like Marina Abramović more (which wasn't its goal, being a biography), but it did help me understand her better.

(Picture: me sitting on Abramović's "Chair for Human Use (III)" in front of Monet's "Le bassin aux nymphéas" at the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen)

Recently I‘ve been thinking about whether art has to have a perspective to be art. This novel looks at a piece by real-life performance artist Marina Abramović that is all perspective. In 2010, she sat all day for 75 days in a gallery and stared directly into the eyes of anyone who sat across from her. This feat of physical and emotional endurance is just incredible. The story focused mainly on one fictional character very moved by this, but ⬇️

Megabooks I enjoyed the parts more where the author dove into Marina‘s thoughts and feelings. She did a great job in mirroring the tension building through the 75 days. A very thought-provoking #audiobook! 2y
BarbaraBB I‘ve been meaning to read this. Great review 🤍 2y

Moony Marina is such an impressing woman. I read her autobiography. Such an intensive life. 2y
Megabooks @BarbaraBB I definitely think you‘d enjoy it! 👍🏻 2y
Megabooks @Cinfhen agreed! I‘m still actively thinking about it. 2y
Megabooks @Moony I‘ll have to add her autobiography to my TBR because she is a fascinating person. She was on Finding Your Roots, and that was really interesting. 2y
Megabooks Oh and thank you both 😘😘 @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB 2y
vivastory What @barbarabb said, I have been meaning to read this. It sounds fascinating. Thanks for the tag! 2y
Centique My daughter wrote a paper on Abramovic and her most controversial exhibition, Rhythm 0, for her art history class. It was mind blowing to read about it. I must get to this soon! 2y
Megabooks @vivastory I think you‘d love this! 2y
Megabooks @Centique that‘s fantastic! I doubt you could talk about her art in some classrooms around where I live. Her pieces are insane, thoughtful, and phenomenal. Her POV is so intense. 2y

Walk Through Walls: A Memoir | Marina Abramovic

"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.

#QuotsyAug20 Day 3: #Romance - this quote is from Season 1, Episode 2 of Modern Love - technically not from a book, but I simply couldn‘t resist. It is absolutely beautiful.

It‘s my birthday! So I gifted myself the time to finally pick back up and finish this book, which I started many weeks ago. It‘s SO good. And bittersweetly perfect for right now, being that it‘s based in NYC and all about relationships and art and the meanings found in being together physically, even with strangers, and even when no words are spoken. 💔❤️ I loved and highly recommend it.

#Ozfiction
This book is fiction and fact. I love it when I read a book and it teaches me things. I spent a lot of time googling the performance artist Marina Abramović and the show ‘The artist is present‘ where she sat for 75 days across from whomever wished to and silently stared into their eyes. Fascinating!

coffees OMG she's my Fav performance artist!! I really liked her piece where she set out a bunch of stuff on a table and let ppl so whatever to her, tbh that's scary, esp since she had a gun art out, it was also very sad the things ppl did 5y
Jeg This is one of my favourite books from book club. Also loved the fact and fiction. Amazing artist. 5y
