Marina Abramovic The Artist is Present | Matthew Akers, Jeff Dupre

Seductive, fearless, and outrageous, Marina Abramovic has been redefining what art is for nearly 40 years. Using her own body as a vehicle, pushing herself beyond her limits and at times risking her life in the process she creates performances that challenge, shock, and move us.Marina Abramovic the Artist is Present follows the artist as she prepares for what may be the most important moment of her life: a major new retrospective of her work, taking place at The Museum of Modern Art. To be given a retrospective at one of the world s premier museums is the most exhilarating sort of milestone. For Marina, it is far more: it is the chance to finally silence the question she has been hearing over and over again for four decades: "But why is this art?"Awards and Accreditations:Berlin International Film Festival, Panorama Audience Award 2012Filmul nu are subtitrare in limba romana. / This movie does not have Romanian subtitles.
