she is there



Marina Abramovic is performing her longest piece called "The Artist is present" each day right now in New York's MoMa, wearing a floor length gown in red, symbolizing courage as well as sacrifice, or blue, symbolizing Mary in christian religion, making people cry, laugh or both just by sitting on a chair looking at the person who sits opposite.
Exhaustion, intimacy, threat and silence can be live viewed here. I do not know if I would take the chance and the seat, would you?

i'd love to, she's the best. (but from a dramatics' point of view, she's not doing pieces but performances).

I wouldn't sit down. I am curious but shy. At least no one is going to hurt her at this one, physically.
