Marina Abramovic is the creator of pioneering performance art which transcends the form-s provocative origins. Her visceral and extreme performances have tested the limits of both body and mind, communicating with audiences worldwide on a personal and political level. Updated and revised throughout, the book combines:
- a biography, setting out the contexts of Abramovic-s work
- an examination of the artist through her writings, interviews and influences
- a detailed analysis of her work, including studies of the Rhythm series, Nightsea Crossing and 512 Hours
- practical explorations of the performances and their origins.
As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, RoutledgePerformance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for today-s student.
