Marina Abramovic’s first China exhibition, her largest ever, will be ‘very radical’
Conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramovic’s largest exhibition ever opens at the Modern Art Museum in Shanghai
Pioneering conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramovic famously once walked thousands of kilometres along the Great Wall of China, a conceptual piece that became the stuff of art-world legend.
Now, decades later, she is finally holding her first exhibition in the country.
Abramovic, 77, will open her largest show ever, at Shanghai’s Modern Art Museum, on October 10.
“I was always dreaming how I can have a show here,” Abramovic said. “To have a show here, you have to be invited – now I’m invited.”
The wait had given her the chance to create something “very different than any show ever made … absolutely fully interactive”, she said.
