MEETING MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ

On Wednesday I met Marina Abramović. She was doing a book signing at the Tate Modern from 12-2 and I had my Japanese class from 11-1 so I wasn't sure that I'd make it. When I got to the Tate Modern I almost left because I didn't think id get my copy signed but I was very lucky and was one of the last 5 people to get their book signed!

She was obviously really great although I only got to see her for like a minute, as you can see in the photo I was smiling like a manic fangirl the whole time. She told me to "read the book. just read it" and seemed pretty relieved that I was one of the last ones. The book is amazing its so well written and is one of those books you can't put down. I'm only in the first few chapters but its great to begin to understand the artist behind the work and then further contextualise the work. I can't wait to get to the chapters where she delves into her relationship with Ulay because I love the work that she produced with him.
