WHEN TIME BECOMES FORM

Public Program: Performing Life

What is "real life" in performance art today? How many lives can a performance have? Are virtual experiences comparable to live performance? What is the future of performance art? Please join us for a panel discussion inspired by these questions and the ongoing performance series When Time Becomes Form curated by Marina Abramovic for Artists Space.

With panelists: Marina Abramovic, Emcee C.M., Master of None, and Ana Prvacki Moderated by: Jovana Stokic


About the participants:

Born in Belgrade, New York-based Marina Abramovic has been producing seminal work in performance, film and video since the early 1970's. Using her body both as subject and medium, she has produced work independently as well as in collaboration with Ulay, who she worked with until 2000. She has received numerous awards and distinctions, including The Golden Lion at the Biennale di Venezia in 1997.

Brooklyn-based Emcee C.M. is an emerging everyman nobody, a loving caricature of the world's preoccupation with the questions of work and leisure. He received his MFA at the University of Connecticut in 2005 and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2007. He has presented numerous unofficial and collaborative projects in public spaces and is currently artist in residence at the Cue Art Foundation in Chelsea.

Born in Pancevo, Serbia, performance artist Ana Prvacki lives and works in Singapore and New York. In 2003, Prvacki founded Ananatural Production, an innovation and lifestyle consultancy that combines conceptual concerns, contemporary issues and various methods of communication.

Belgrade born, New York-based art historian and critic Jovana Stokic is a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. She received her BA from the Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Art History at Belgrade University (Yugoslavia), and her MA from the Art History Department at the University of California, Riverside. She is currently Curator of the Kimmel Center for University Life, New York University.


When Time Becomes Form is an ongoing performance series of long-durational work curated by Marina Abramovic. The performance series grows from Artists Space's commitment to experimentation across all art forms and recent efforts to return performance art to its central position within the gallery's activities and exhibitions. The series consists of twelve distinct, but interrelated, durational performances, each created and presented by a different performance artist, all members of the Independent Performance Group (IPG). The series explores and questions issues of concentration, will power, and determination, and uses the gallery space for 6 hours during each day of its presentation.
