Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present
106 mins.
Directed by Matthew Akers, Jeff Dupre

Seductive, fearless, and outrageous, Marina Abramovic has been redefining art for nearly forty years. Using her body as a vehicle, 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 retrospective of her work at the Museum of Modern Art [MoMA] in New York. For Marina, the MoMA show represents the chance to finally silence the question she has been hearing over and over again for four decades: “But why is this art?”
