Marina Abramović and Ulay Reunite at Louisiana Museum
Marina Abramović and Ulay reunited at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark during a press conference for Abramović's retrospective 'The Cleaner.' Unlike their emotional 2010 MoMA encounter, this meeting was relaxed and humorous. The couple, who were partners in art and life from 1976 to 1988, performed iconic works like 'Death Self' (1977) and 'Imponderabilia.' Their relationship ended with 'The Lovers' on the Great Wall of China. After the MoMA reunion, Ulay sued Abramović for copyright infringement, winning about $250,000. The Louisiana Channel's Christian Lund conducted a double video interview titled 'The Story of Marina Abramović & Ulay,' available online. Abramović won the Golden Lion at the 1997 Venice Biennale for 'Balkan Baroque.'
