The legendary performance artist talks to Dazed about her plans to perform for 600 hours at New York's MOMA... In the early 70s Marina Abramović plunged knives between her splayed fingers in a gory game of five-finger fillet, blacked out in a fiery wooden star, took seizure-inducing pills, and had a loaded gun pointed at her head. Her new show at La Fabrica gallery, Madrid is somewhat gentler. The Kitchen, Homage To Saint Therese consists mainly of portraits, some of which reference Caravaggio and Zurbarán paintings, shot by Italian photographer Marco Anelli. In them, the so-called "grandmother of performance art" can be seen cooking, meditating and levitating (thanks to a pulley system) in the former orphanage kitchens of La Laboral, a sprawling arts complex in Gijón, Spain. The writings of Saint Therese of Ávila – a 16th century nun who was said to have levitated in church and once – to her annoyance - in her kitchen while making soup – inspired the work. Her difficult childhood in Serbia also went into the mix. Here´s what Marina Abramović had to say.
