Marina Abramović's First Austrian Retrospective Opens at Albertina Modern Through March 2026

The Albertina Modern in Vienna is currently presenting the first significant retrospective of Marina Abramović's art in Austria, curated by Bettina M. Busse, which will continue until 1 March 2026. Abramović, born in 1946 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, draws from her formative experiences to delve into concepts of discipline and endurance. The exhibition includes more than a hundred pieces alongside four live performances, such as Imponderabilia and Balkan Baroque, exploring themes of history, politics, and spirituality. Her work resonates with both personal and collective memory, influencing contemporary artists like Tino Sehgal and Amalia Ulman. This retrospective highlights audience interaction, inviting participation and showcasing Abramović's intense approach that pushes the limits of performance art.
