CAMK would like to present internationally acclaimed artist, Marina Abramovic, in her first retrospective exhibition in Japan, [The Star]. For CAMK's museum opening exhibition, ATTITUDE 2002, we produced an enlarged photograph (180x180 cm) from her performance piece, Pieta. Pieta struck inspiration within Abramovic and she started to make a new series of work which revived her past performances into photographed pieces, and will be on public display for the first time in this show.
Since 1968, she has been doing performances which seek out the line between the limits of the physical body and the individual potential of the human spirit, and has been highly-praised in the art world.Beginning in 1975, Abramovic worked together with German artist Ulay on several performance pieces. After the two parted ways, she continued on with solo performances as well as vigorously pouring energy into making objects which intertwine the physical and spiritual worlds. Abramovic was born in Belgrade in the former Yugoslavia and her works strongly relate to this Balkan areas bloody history. Her performances challenge to reach the limits of the body and pose the question “What exactly does it mean to be human?” in a straightforward manner.
Our international advisor, Bojana Pejic who is also from Belgrade and has been watching Abramovic closely since the beginnings of her artistic activities, will curate this exhibition as guest curator. Through her objects, video documentations and large scale prints of Abramovics performances, we will attempt to approach the depths of human existence.
