Gender and art

LONDON.- Taking its title from an early, immersive sound environment, White Space presents a range of historic works by Marina Abramović, most of which have never been exhibited before. Featuring two important sound pieces, previously unseen video documentation of seminal performances and a number of newly discovered photographs, all dating from 1971-1975, the exhibition reveals the artist's first forays into a performance-based practice dealing with time and the immaterial, themes which have again become central to her current work.

"In 1987 the Centre d'Art Contemporain hosted die Mond, der Sonne, the final collaboration between Marina Abramovic and the German artist Ulay before they separated on the Great Wall of China (The Lovers: The Great Wall Walk).
To mark the Centre's 40th anniversary, Marina Abramovic is returning to Geneva where she will occupy a whole floor of the institution from the 1st until the 11th of May 2014 to host an exercise open to the public. The artist’s approach is to teach participants how to cope with the demands of staging long-duration performances of their own via a series of training exercises.

[...]

At the workshop at the Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève, Marina Abramovic will have participants to work on Counting the rice, in a site-specific structure designed by Daniel Libeskind. The architect is also returning to Geneva, after having exhibited at the Centre in 1987.
Counting the Rice, from the series of workshop entitled Cleaning the House, aims to develop the participants’ endurance, concentration, perception, self-control and willpower. It will allow the public to stretch their physical and mental limits."

Marina Abramovic s'est donné 512 heures pour découvrir "comment faire de l'art à partir de rien", lors d'une expérience dans une galerie londonienne vide. A compter de mercredi, pendant huit heures sans interruption, six jours sur sept, l'artiste serbe de 67 ans essaiera de montrer "comment faire de l'art avec rien" puisque, selon elle, "l'art est une question d'énergie et l'énergie est invisible"
