For the exhibition Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present in Museum of Modern Art, Abramović performed in the atrium every day the Museum was open between March 14 and May 31, 2010. Visitors were encouraged to sit silently across from the artist for a duration of their choosing, becoming participants in the artwork. Through silently breathing and eye-contacting with the artist, participants are challenged to find their presence in the public space.
T Magazine recently posted a video of Abramović training the performances at the exhibit and discussing performance art.
