Acute Art presents | Marina Abramović discusses her first virtual reality project | Rising | About Marina Abramović – Rising Marina Abramović’s Rising addresses the effects of climate change by transporting viewers to witness rising sea levels. In the artwork, viewers enter an intimate virtual space, where they come face-to-face with the artist, who beckons from within a glass tank that is slowly filling with water from her waist to her neck. People are invited to make contact with the virtual Abramović, and then find themselves surrounded by a dramatic scene of melting polar ice caps. Abramović urges viewers to reconsider their impact on the world around them, asking them to choose whether or not to save her from drowning by pledging to support the environment, which lowers the water in the tank. Abramović’s pioneering performance career has centred around time-based work, which uses both hers and the public’s body as a canvas. She has continually pushed the boundaries with durational work that has defined contemporary performance. With Rising, the artist’s presence is brought into another dimension. To produce the artwork, Acute Art developers captured the artist’s unique facial expressions to create a realistic looking avatar of Abramović. Embracing new technology in an endeavour to transmit the presence of the artist virtually, Rising allows users to directly interact with the artist virtually from anywhere in the world | Discover more at acuteart.com |

The incredible break-up story of Marina Abramović & Ulay on China’s Great Wall | Public Delivery | This excerpt from the 2012 documentary „The Artist Is Present“ covers the incredible break-up story of Marina Abramović and Ulay. Initially, when the couple planned the trip, they intended to get married at the center of the Great Wall of China. However, after finally acquiring all the authorization required from the Chinese government, they decided to change their plan. What started out as a marriage celebration turned into last goodbyes for the couple In 1988, Abramović would start walking the wall from the east while Ulay would start from the west. It would take three months for the couple to meet in the middle, where they would break up and go their separate ways. The couple titled the piece „The Lovers“ | YouTube

Marina Abramović | Advice to the Young | Louisiana Channel | Follow your intuition. Have courage. Do what you imagine. And always be completely present in the moment. Marina Abramović on what it really means to be an artist: „A great artist has to be ready to fail.“ Meet the charismatic performance artist Marina Abramović in this interview on what it means to be an artist, waking up each morning with an urge to be creative. Abramović says that the most courageous act in the history of mankind was Christopher Columbus discovering America, which was in fact a mistake, since they went into the unknown believing they would reach India. She also explains how the best advice she received as a student was to never allow things to become routine. A good artist will have one really good idea in their life, while a brilliant artist may have two, so one has to be careful with the ideas, Abramović says. She explains that she always does the work she is most afraid of, which is most different to what she has done before. Finally Abramović adds that the performing artist has to be completely present in the moment, and cannot be thinking of the next step. You have to follow intuition, have courage and do what you imagine. Marina Abramović (1946) became world famous after her retrospective ‚The Artist is Present‘ at MoMA in 2010, which was followed by a documentary film premiering in 2013. Abramović began her career in the early 1970s and has recently begun to describe herself as the ‚grandmother of performance art‘. Abramović’s work explores the relationship between performer and audience, the limits of the body and the possibilities of the mind. To Ambramovic the purpose of art is the transformation of the artist and of the viewer | Marina Abramovic was interviewed by Christian Lund in New York | September 2013 | Photography by René Johansen | Editing by Kamilla Bruus | Produced by Christian Lund | 2013 | Copyright Louisiana Channel | Louisiana Museum of Modern Art | Supported by Nordea-fonden | YouTube
