brief_description
"Since the beginning of her career, in Belgrade in the late 1960s, Marina Abramović has pioneered performance as a visual art form, creating some of the most important works in the field. Marina Abramoví: The Artist is Present documents this history in detail, representing the range of Abramović's art in sound, video, installation, photography, and performance as well as in the reperformance of both solo and collaborative historical works. Ephemeral and time-based performance is harder than more traditional art works to preserve and pass on to posterity; The Artist is Present constitutes a complex address of this issue." -COVER.
