""I feel like a bulldozer, some kind of communist warrior who says, okay, I want this space! It's important to clear this testosterone and let some woman spirit in!""
""Being next to this great work is not easy. I hope the public will not find me arrogant and full of ego, for I always believe that ego is an obstacle to creation.""
""The title of the Accademia exhibition is Transforming Energy, which I feel expresses a crucial strain in my work that I have been developing over several decades.""
""It is something that I started a long time ago, just after I walked the Great Wall of China, to make transitory objects that the public can use.""
Marina Abramović made history as the first living female artist to have a solo exhibition at the Gallerie dell'Accademia. Her work will be displayed in both permanent and temporary spaces. The exhibition, titled Transforming Energy, reflects her long-standing interest in creating transitory objects for audience interaction. Abramović juxtaposes her 1983 photograph Pietá with Titian's final masterpiece, expressing humility and a desire to clear space for female energy in the art world. She emphasizes the importance of audience involvement in her evolving artistic practice.
