Marina Abramović's Dubious Method at PAC Milan
Born in Belgrade in 1946, Marina Abramović is a prominent contemporary performance artist, recognized for her presence in the media and her recent contentious appearances on Italian television. Her exhibition at PAC in Milan highlights her artistic journey, featuring notable works such as Dragon Head, Nude with Skeleton, Nightsea Crossing Conjunction with Ulay, and The Artist is Present at MoMA. Abramović's performances explore the artist's role, sociopolitical issues, and her interactions with Ulay. In Milan, The Abramović Method invites twenty-one participants to engage in human positions and explore the energetic qualities of minerals, with volunteers dedicating their time for a certificate. The exhibition, curated by Diego Sileo and Eugenio Viola, continues until June 10, 2012.
