pickI loved this book primarily because I love Marina Abramovic. It tells the true story of Marina‘s art, so singular & intriguing, focusing on her time sitting at MOMA for months staring into people‘s eyes & the long lines of people waiting for the opportunity to sit before her. It covers a wide range of her events. I appreciated hearing about her parents. Through it all there is the fictional story being told of several attendees of the MOMA event.
BarbaraBB I never knew this book is about Marina. I love her art so much! Stacking! 2d
Suet624 @BarbaraBB I didn‘t realize it either until @Jas16 sent it to me. You‘ll like it. 2d
CarolynM I liked this one more than I expected to. I thought some of it was a bit pretentious but lots of it was really good. I think you‘ll like it too @BarbaraBB 2d

Suet624 @CarolynM Pretentious? I‘m curious about that. 1d
CarolynM I can't remember the details and I don't have a copy of the book any more, so I can't give you chapter and verse, but I think it was that some of the discussion about the significance of the artwork was a bit much for my taste. I felt like the writer was trying too hard with some of the descriptions. 1d
Suet624 @CarolynM interesting. I can see how the character of Levin and his music might have felt that way. I‘m so in awe of Marina that I may not have seen the sections on her as pretentious. I just find her courageous and one of a kind. 1d
