Hours at the Marina Abramovich exhibit at the MoMA this Wednesday, more than a couple. We come thirsty and leave parched: good thing Ophra always carries water in her bag. The brilliant pink tulips in the back courtyard listen as we try to make sense of it all. Most interesting are the questions:
So what's next?
What do people think/wish to get from sitting with her?
Is the guru stance acknowledged, intentional, imposed on her?
Ophra loves the Erotic Balkan piece best... why? It is true, speaks of Marina's personal history, of nature, love and the spiritual.
Here's what I want to write at this moment... it was in front of the tulips, I think that the questions led to this proposal: Most of the time Marina is dealing with the political body, even with Ulay, it is about relationship, yes, but the politics of. In her more recent piece, the erotic one, she approaches the spiritual. I'll risk saying that Erin and I are looking for the metaphysical body. How is that different from the spiritual body? The metaphysical is an expression of the spiritual, but the spiritual is much more than just metaphysical. Maybe the question is, how is the metaphysical body different from the political body? Yes, I like that question:
how is the metaphysical body different from the political body?
