Performance art - Marina Abramovic
I missed the great exhibition at NYC's MoMA 'The artist is present', a career spanning overview of Marina Abramovic's work.
I did purchase the catalogue and have been quite mesmerised. (It includes a CD, with the artist commenting on her work in a fairly even, composed tone. Towards the end, she shows her emotion, though, when talking about the artistical betrayal by Ulay at the end of their collaboration, ending after their love relationship ended, and when talking about partisan parents.)
The point I wanted to make for now is this. We know that women's breasts may increase with age, but we rarely see it. Abramovic has often performed nude and we see that hers clearly have. She has generally stayed in very good shape and would hardly have put on weight. It is good to see a woman ageing gracefully.
