Marina Abramovic

In psychiatric studies of artists, performance art has been relatively neglected. The work of Marina Abramovic places emphasis upon the crossing of limits: both physical and mental. Here the self-wounding which occurs in such a context is contrasted with that seen in the psychiatric setting, among those diagnosed as having ‘personality disorders'.

This chapter describes a teaching method, corporeal architecture, which uses performance art and neuroscience to teach interior design and architecture with a focus on embodiment and experience. The method sets new approaches to teach design, as it integrates design, neuroscience, and performance art and brings awareness to the importance of multi-sensory experience. The interaction with design objects at different scales is taken as an opportunity to investigate how the human body relates to space and allow the exploration of affordances through movement. Students are instructed with physical exercises and encouraged to design, build, and perform with objects such as chairs, cabinets and tables, installations, existing buildings, and public spaces. The performances explore narratives which reveal or subvert expectations we have around design objects. The methodology has a background in phenomenology, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Juhani Pallasmaa; Antonio Damásio in neuroscience; and Oskar Schlemmer, Marina Abramovic, and Stelarc in Performance Art.

Freud's “riddle” that women are, themselves, “the problem” takes on new significance in thinking back through the “remimetic” strategies and tactics of mid-century feminist performance art. What sorts of “problems” arise with the stellar success of women artists in the 2000s, and the new status of “global art star” for artists such as Marina Abramović and Cindy Sherman? What may have been left out of the picture? Perhaps the recent “living archive” re.act.feminism installation by curators Bettina Knaup and Beatrice Stammer may provide some clues.

A Performance

O presente artigo teve por temática a poiésis, a performance art e a formação estética docente. O objetivo foi investigar processos poéticos no qual o corpo do pesquisador também fosse tema e suporte na poiésis, relacionando à/aos artistas Marina Abramović, Hélio Oiticica e Artur Barrio e a suas obras. De abordagem qualitativa, o percurso metodológico abarcou a Pesquisa Educacional Baseada em Arte (DIAS; IRWIN, 2013) e a matriz a/r/tográfica, organizada em levantamento bibliográfico, aprofundamento teórico, percurso poético e visualidades. Barthes (2018) norteou a análise da investigação, em que o studium perpassou a formação docente, garimpando estesias que foram absorvidas na poíesis em forma de punctum. Os resultados apresentam quatro obras que compõem a série Dilaporal. Conclui-se que as visualidades poetizadas são como garimpagens do a/r/tógrafo na formação estética docente.

Time’S Arrow

The gradual and then ecstatic acceleration and diversification of Marina Abramović's choices in life and art are the result of her commitment to install and introduce into her performance-machine the power of perpetual mobility. That final line of end/ ings of the horizon disappearing into Nothingness, the line of Death which she touched and invoked in her life and work on many occasions, is neither to be melancholically accepted, nor desperately tamed or fiercely denied. Abramović activates this line of the last horizon, turning it around so that it becomes vital rather than fatal, cyclic rather than liminal, (re)turning - aspace that gives birth to (hyper)productivity. There is a relentless striving to disturb, slow down, curb, disable the work of Time, to change the path of Time's arrow. She endeavours to reconstruct, revitalise, rejuvenate, to extend the duration of the body of her art, the body of performance art and, consequently, of her biological body. A number of methods and mechanisms are used for this purpose - starting from documentation, technical multiplication, substitution, extension and virtualisation and even spectacularisation of her body and the body of her art.
