A durational performance exploring the relationship between artist and audience. Abramovic's only materials will be herself, a selection of common objects, and of course, you, the audience.

11 June - 25 August.

Creating the simplest of environments in the Gallery spaces, Abramović’s only materials will be herself, the audience and a selection of common objects that she will use in a constantly changing sequence of events. On arrival, visitors will both literally and metaphorically leave their baggage behind in order to enter the exhibition: bags, jackets, electronic equipment, watches and cameras may not accompany them. 

The public will become the performing body, participating in the delivery of an unprecedented moment in the history of performance art. 

Marina Abramović is a pioneer of performance as an art form, using her own body as subject and object, she has pushed the physical and mental limits of her being. During her residency at the Serpentine, the artist will, for the first time, commit to an unscripted and improvised presence in the space of the Gallery.
