Performance artist Marina Abramovic displays her work in her native Belgrade for the first time in 44 years and says that returning home has been highly emotional.
Performance artist Marina Abramovic performs during the art exhibition "Marina Abramovic - The Cleaner" in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, Serbia, Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019. Abramovic is displaying her work in her native Belgrade for the first time in 44 years and she says that returning home has been highly emotional.
“You have no idea how emotionally excited I am,” said Abramovic, best known for her piece “The Artist Is Present,” which in 2010 saw her sit silent and motionless for 736½ hours opposite a parade of strangers at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The show is concluding in Belgrade after touring seven cities in various countries since 2017. While hailed as a major cultural event for the Serbian capital following the crisis years in the 1990s, critics have argued that the exhibition is too expensive and is serving to boost the image of Serbia’s populist authorities.“I am no politician, I am an artist,” Abramovic said. “I believe this exhibition has shown to the politicians that if you invest money in culture you get high standards.
