Walk Through Walls: A Memoir

Product Information

Taking us from her early life in communist ex-Yugoslavia, to her time as a young art student in Belgrade in the 1970s, the book also describes her relationship with the West German performance artist named Ulay who was her lover and sole collaborator for twelve years. A Changing Places toilet is located on Level 1 Royal Festival Hall next to the JCB Glass Lift, for the exclusive use of disabled people who need personal assistance to use the toilet. It includes the well-documented project in which Abramović and Ulay walked the length of the Great Wall of China from opposite ends, the plan being to meet in the middle and marry.

The facility includes a height-adjustable bench, tracking hoist system, a centrally-placed toilet, a height-adjustable basin and a shower. Combining brand-new interviews, never-before-seen images and fascinating ephemera, this book is a testament to the extraordinary life and work of one of our most courageous and groundbreaking artists, and is published to coincide with the opening of Abramovic’s Royal Academy exhibition – the first major show by a female artist in the Academy’s 255-year history. Notable artist collaborations include The Marina Abramovic Method Cards, the text for Michaël Borremans' The Acrobat, as well as projects with Barry McGee, Todd Hido, and Espen Deitrichson.At first glance Marina Abramović has made a career from doing the opposite of Elena Ferrante, whose identity, as we all know, has been investigated by a journalist. She was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale for the video installation and performance “Balkan Baroque.

Abramović tells us that “communism mixed with mysticism” was very much part of her DNA – an uncanny mix we can also see in the films of Andrei Tarkovsky, and in the theatre of the Polish director Tadeusz Kantor. Such a brilliant book, Abramovic explained things that I would never even pretend to understand in such a way that makes sense.

Personally I love contemporary art, I love performance art, and I love Marina Abramović, so this was always going to work for me. And my father’s guerilla squad captured the guy who had killed his brother and brought him to my father. My father was appointed to Marshal Tito’s elite guard; my mother directed an institute that supervised historic monuments and acquired artwork for public buildings. She has presented her work at major institutions in the US and Europe, including the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven,1985; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, 1990; Neue National Galerie, Berlin, 1993, and the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford, 1995.

This product arrived before time, brand new and it came with a personalised message from the seller which I think is a smart touch that makes the difference. Exploring her physical and mental limits in works that ritualize the simple actions of everyday life, she has withstood pain, exhaustion and danger in her quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.My parents were war heroes—­they fought against the Nazis with the Yugoslav partisans, Communists led by Tito—­and so after the war they became important members of the Party, with important jobs. I have participated in a Marina Abramovic piece of art-experiment in London, in 2014: the `512 hours' and cherish the experience and have met her personally.
