Marina Abramovic's recent performance art event in Mexico City showcased her unique approach to art, merging it with architecture at the Barragan-designed Cuadra San Cristobal. The highly anticipated event, amidst an extravagant Mexico City Art Week, saw Abramovic presenting a manifesto emphasizing the role of conflict in artistry. The prominent locale will evolve into a cultural center, La Cuadra, further fostering creative expression. Amidst this, a performance highlighted the whimsical nature of art, turning even the lunch menu into a melodic experience, all while emphasizing the significance of art as 'oxygen' for life.
Abramovic emphasized, "An artist should have enemies. Enemies are very important; An artist should die consciously, without fear; Don't forget we have art, and art is oxygen."
The horses began to trot around Abramovic and Leon de la Barra, while she sat on a platform in front of Barragan's iconic wall, reading her manifesto.
