Marina "Guy's Girl" Abramović

The podcast is present. Throw on your best Yohji dress, we're going to the opening for Slavic seductress, mistress of MoMA, and iconic performance artist—Marina Abramović—and her durational memoir, "Walk Through Walls." From growing up under the communist regime of Tito's Yugoslavia to becoming the Queen Bee of the contemporary art world, living with the Aborigines, getting poisoned with pulverized diamonds, beaten by your own mother for sleeping messily, a rigorous discussion of art-as-self-expression, fasting, Lady Gaga, and how to be happy—this breathtaking act of conceptual audio is going straight into the Whitney's permanent collection.
