Marina Abramovic:
The Artist is Present
Portland Art Museum, Mark Building,
Trustee Room (4th Floor)
Join fellow CAC members for a Sunday Matinee of this
excellent documentary / art film. Popcorn,
champagne, and other beverages will be served.
Seductive, fearless, and outrageous, Marina
Abramovic has been redefining what art is for nearly
forty years. Using her own body as a vehicle, pushing
herself beyond her physical and mental limits - and at
times risking her life in the process - she creates
performances that challenge, shock, and move us.
Through her and with her, boundaries are crossed,
consciousness expanded, and art as we know it is
reborn. She is, quite simply, one of the most
compelling and controversial artists of our time. She is
an art world icon and myth of her own making. She is
unlike anyone you have ever met before.
The documentary film, Marina Abramovic: The Artist is
Present, takes us inside Abramovic's world, following
her as she prepares for what may be the most
important moment of her life: a major retrospective of
her work, taking place at the Museum of Modern Art
New York. To be given a retrospective at one of the
world's premiere museums is, for any living artist, the
most exhilarating sort of milestone. For Abramovic, it
is far more: it is the chance to finally silence the
questions she has been hearing over and over again
for four decades: "but why is this art?" Performance
becomes life - and life becomes art. For Abramovic,
the boundaries are quite porous.
This event is free to CAC members and guests.
RSVP by replying to this email or by
calling 503-276-4267 ext. 2 by Thursday,
January 16th. Please provide your name and the
names of any guests who will be attending.
