About
Since the beginning of her career in Belgrade during the early 1970s, Marina Abramović has pioneered performance art, creating some of the form's most important early works. Exploring her physical and mental limits, she has withstood pain, exhaustion, and danger in her quest for emotional and spiritual transformation.
Abramović was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale. In 2010, Abramović had her first major U.S. retrospective and simultaneously performed for over 700 hours in “The Artist is Present” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Abramović founded Marina Abramović Institute (MAI), a platform for immaterial and long durational work to create new possibilities for collaboration among thinkers of all fields.
Her most recent publication is Walk Through Walls: A Memoir, published by Crown Archetype on October 25, 2016. Her retrospective, The Cleaner, opened at Moderna Museet, Stockholm in February 2017 and has toured seven additional European venues, ending at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, Serbia in 2019. In September 2020, the Bayerische Staats Opera presented the world premiere of 7 Deaths of Maria Callas, which will continue to tour to other venues.
In September 2023, Abramović opened her solo exhibition at the Royal Academy and became the first female artist in the institution’s 250-year history to occupy the entire gallery space with her work.
For more information about Abramović's extensive 50-year career, her education and her exhibitions, please visit www.marinaabramovic.com/bio.html and for information about the Marina Abramović Institute, visit www.mai.art.
Abramović is currently exhibiting at the Royal Academy's Burlington House from 23 September 2023 - 1 January 2024.
