Marina Abramovic. Gates and Portals

More about the book

This is an attempt to do something different, because in a normal exhibition you're just a silent witness. At Modern Art Oxford, rather than just viewing artworks in front of you, you will be partaking in an experience that will be happening to you. Marina Abramović's presents a new site-specific performance-based exhibition at Modern Art Oxford. Gates and Portals explores transitional states of being, with each visitor participating as a performer with a small group of others. During the exhibition visitors will encounter gates and portals that prompt contemplation of bodily awareness and elevated consciousness.The exhibition was developed following a research residency at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford in summer 2021. To complement Gates and Portals, a case installation of a film and new drawings made by the artist during her residency will be on display at the Pitt Rivers Museum. Exhibition: Modern Art Oxford, UK (24.09.2022 - 05.03.2023) / Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, UK (24.09.2022 - 02.04.2023)
