Abramovic has previously spent time in the Northern Territory, praising the experience to The Australian during an exhibition of hers last year.
'Australia is so much a part of me. It's the beginning of all my best work. You know it was your Australian desert that transformed me?'
'Terrible' and 'like dinosaurs' are the words used to describe indigenous Australians by a world famous performance artist in her upcoming memoir.
Marina Abramovic, who starred in the well-known documentary The Artist Is Present, is causing controversy after an excerpt from her memoir 'Walk Through Walls' was posted online:
'Aborigines are not just the oldest race in Australia; they are the oldest race on the planet. They look like dinosaurs,' the passage reads.
'They are really strange and different, and they should be treated as living treasures. Yet, they are not.'

Her work has been featured on the TV series Sex and the City and she has collaborated with celebrities like Jay Z and Lady Gaga, pushing her artform into the mainstream.
The Serbian-born, New York-based artist is in Sydney as part of the Kaldor Public Arts Project, where she will be teaching The Abramovic Method, which aims to help the audience get back in touch with their inner selves.
Lateline's Nikki Tugwell spoke to Abramovic about her legacy, feminism, Lady Gaga and how Aboriginal Australians inspired her art.
