Pioneer of Performance Art, Marina Abramović is one of the most acclaimed, remarkable and influential contemporary artists in the world today. Born in Belgrade in 1946, she pushes the boundaries of both body and mind in works such as the now-legendary ‘Rhythm 0’ where she relinquished all control to her audience and for 8 hours permitted them to use a series of objects, including a gun, on her person. An intense 12 year relationship with fellow artist Ulay followed, producing scores of seminal works. When their partnership finally reached an end, they created a piece called ‘The Lovers’ where for three months they walked the Great Wall of China from opposite ends, meeting in the middle before parting ways.
