The artist is present


Marina Abramovic sits and stares for three full months at the MOMA. At the end of the show the lines form the previous evening. People spend the whole night queuing to have the privilege of staring at, and being stared at by the artist. In the middle of the run, the little table separating the artist from the starer is removed. Nakedness is enhanced. Vulnerability and emotion run high.
