Marina who?

If it's any consolation (it probably isn't), I have absolutely no idea who or what you're talking about.

Who is this "Marina Abramovic" you're all worked up about?

Yeah, I still have no real idea who she is either. I guess with all the lather, I'll probably keep it that way.

"I think the art world has lost its mind"

Doh!

"“One idea is to take 250 drops of blood of the most important human beings on this planet who contribute to humanity — in science, technology, writers, filmmakers, whatever,” she said. Once a year, “the most important shaman of that century,” she explained, would energize the blood drops, using the “life force” that connects body to blood."

"largely content-less"

There's a term you don't hear in art criticism nearly often enough. Sums up my response to much of what I saw at SAM yesterday.

Have no idea who she is, but you made me want to watch this video after reading the allusion to the video in Infinite Jest. Sooooo, I guess she wins again?

They cry when art is ignored, and boo and hiss when an artist excites an audience. It's the hater circle of life. Honestly, I thought James Franco had the best quote in the article. I'm happy for Abramovic's success and glad she is bringing performance art to a broader audience. Good for her.

Not a fan of the art of M. A. Reminds me of a few years ago, I couldn't open an art mag without seeing a reference to Joseph Beuys, fat and felt. Don't think he crossed over though.

Much ado about nothing, to quote the bard.

Has Amanda Palmer expressed an opinion yet? Now Miley, there's an artist!
