Picture of Marina Abramović and Jacob Rothschild in front a painting called "Satan summoning his Legions"
>The very honest and plain speaking Marina Abramović did the Rothchild Lecture at the RA ahead of her 50 year retrospective which will take over the place from Sept-Dec 2020. There’s still time to get in touch with her if you want to take part in a performance as some of the older pieces will be redone with new people. For me, the funniest part of the lecture was when she was asked about failure and she spoke about one performance years ago (of how they can’t be rehearsed like a theatre piece because the actual performance is the exploration of the concept) and just as she was starting the piece realised “Oh no, this is awful and bad’ then had to continue on with it for 8 hours as had been planned. Here she is pictured with Lord Rothchild with a backdrop of Thomas Lawrence’s ‘Satan summoning his Legions’. #marinaabramovic #contemporaryart #performance #performanceart
