More quotes by Marina Abramovic
A great artist has to be ready to fail.
Marina Abramovic
I always do big birthday things. In three years, I'm 70. I'm going to do something outrageous. In America, everyone's always hiding their age.
Marina Abramovic
I have found that long durational art is really the key to changing consciousness. On such a deep level. Not just the performer, but the one looking at it.
Marina Abramovic
Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.
Marina Abramovic
An artist should not fall in love with another artist.
Marina Abramovic
The only way to change consciousness and the world around us is to start with yourself.
Marina Abramovic
My work is immaterial. It's not painting, it's not sculpture, it's emotions. I'm giving you something to experience yourself.
Marina Abramovic
I think if people raise their consciousness and find a purpose, everybody will be helped.
Marina Abramovic
Most artists create foundations where they put their own work. Here I'm not putting my own work. I'm just creating the chambers.
Marina Abramovic
I really like dark, politically incorrect humor.
Marina Abramovic
I never say Serbia. I always say I come from a country that no longer exists.
Marina Abramovic
For me, the most difficult piece is the one I'm about to make.
Marina Abramovic
I have always staged my fears as a way to transcend them.
Marina Abramovic
I just want to create situations where people forget time.
Marina Abramovic
I don't know anything about the afterlife because I haven't been there yet.
Marina Abramovic
Performance has to be mainstream art. This is what I'm fighting for.
Marina Abramovic
It's very important that young artists push boundaries, because sometimes you have this urge to do something - like the impulsive and dangerous urges I had as a child - and if you don't follow through with it you might miss out on a developmental experience.
Marina Abramovic
Being an artist is not easy - I have always said that to the students I have taught over the years. It's a huge sacrifice.
Marina Abramovic
The body has an enormous power of healing, if you really believe you are going to be healed, you're going to be healed. If you really believe you're going to die, you're going to die. If you apply this kind of method to everything, then there is hope.
Marina Abramovic
I'm talking about intellectually and emotionally challenging, but at the same time it's actually not that challenging. So there's this dichotomy.
Marina Abramovic
