And here's Marina Abramovic with Robert Redford and Redford's daughter-in-law.
Article about Marina Abramovic's planned project in Hudson, NY - the Marina Abramovic Institute - falling through in October 2017 due to "fundraising failure". Also talks about how she plans on reshaping the MAI project going forward.
"The project was to be led by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, who had created a set of “absolutely beautiful” plans for the 33,000-square-foot space, said Abramović. Currently, however, the building’s only occupants are pigeons, and she admitted she will “probably sell it.”
I sure as shit hope the only occupants of this abandoned building are indeed pigeons.

"Too avant-garde for American sensibilities, it spoke to the artist on many levels. ‘I was brought up in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, a communist country, so the star is a potent symbol for me,’ Abramovic, 68, explains. ‘It is on my birth certificate; it was on all my textbooks in school.’"
