Missing Marina

New York is just not the same without the knowledge that Marina Abramovic is sitting serenely up at MoMA while we rush around her like chickens who have lost our heads. It's been a week since she moved out of the museum and I'm not sure if, without her unwavering gaze, we exist at all.



I went to MoMA to bid my farewell just four days before her vigil ended. And although photography wasn't permitted I snapped these two cheeky pics with my iphone. Hey, Peter Magubane used a milk carton and a loaf of bread when he had to.

Crying for Art's Sake

"Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present" is on at MoMA only until May 31. If you need any further inspiration to get there and sit with the artist, take a look at this blog called "Marina Abramovic Made Me Cry" featuring sitters who became emotional in her gaze.
