Marina Abramovic: MAI

This volume, published in conjunction with the opening of the MAI - Marina Abramovic Institute for the Preservation of Performance Art - the only venue of its kind for the conservation, production and enjoyment of long-duration performances - is not only a celebration of the project, but also a summary of Abramovic's career. Her career stretches from the provocative experiments of the 1970s all the way to the artist's most recent performances: her magnetic New York masterpiece The Artist is Present and her multi-sensory experience in PAC in Milan, thanks to which she developed the fully-fledged performance method: The Abramovic Method. This is the next step in Abramovic's work: the fact that she will not necessarily have to be present in person, instead replaced by her Method.
