From MoMA: "This performance retrospective traces the prolific career of Marina Abramović (Yugoslav, b. 1946) with approximately fifty works spanning over four decades of her early interventions and sound pieces, video works, installations, photographs, solo performances, and collaborative performances made with Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen). In an endeavor to transmit the presence of the artist and make her historical performances accessible to a larger audience, the exhibition includes the first live re-performances of Abramović’s works by other people ever to be undertaken in a museum setting. In addition, a new, original work performed by Abramović will mark the longest duration of time that she has performed a single solo piece. (Please note: Abramović will not perform during MoMA Nights.) All performances, one of which involves viewer participation, will take place throughout the entire duration of the exhibition, starting before the Museum opens each day and continuing until after it closes, to allow visitors to experience the timelessness of the works. A chronological installation of Abramović’s work will be included in The Joan and Preston Robert Tisch Gallery on the sixth floor of the Museum, revealing different modes of representing, documenting, and exhibiting her ephemeral, time-based, and media-based works. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue that includes an audio recording of the artist’s voice guiding the reader through the publication."

The show titled "The Artist is Present" runs March 14 - May 31, 2010 at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. Throughout the duration Abramović will remain seated on a wooden chair for seven hours a day, six days a week, with no breaks for food, water or even the bathroom.

Abramović's preparation for the show and the show itself are being documented for a feature length film by Matthew Akers, Jeff Dupre and Maro Chermayeff - watch the trailer here.

Visit MoMA's interactive page for the exhibition to watch live footage of Abramović's performance and interviews with the artist (1st interview below).
