Marina Abramović: Can Everyone Be a Artist and more questions

Jun 26, 2013


In this clip, Marina responded to questions asking, "what is wrong with the world?" Is anger a part of her art? Is she a political artist? "What are you trying to achieve?" And, she shows Sir Norman Rosenthal how to drink water consciously. Lastly, Rosenthal asks her if she can imagine a world where everyone is an artist?

"This is big illusion that everyone can be an artist." she responded. "It's not true. People do different professions... if you make the bread in the bakery you're a baker. If you make bread in the gallery you're an artist. So the context makes the difference...where you're doing what you're doing."
