Delve into the life and work of Serbian conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramović at a screening of her retrospective, Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present, presented as part of The Fralin Downtown film series. Abramović uses her own body as a vehicle to challenge, shock, and move audiences in performances that incorporate sound, video, installations, and more. The 2012 film includes performances of previous exhibitions, and follows Abramović as she assembles an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art.
