Let's take a little trip back in time. The day we are going to is March 14th, 2010. A dark-haired

woman, dressed in a bright red gown, sits quietly and patiently at a wooden table across from an

empty chair in the center of the Museum of Modern Arts interior courtyard. This woman is Marina

Abramovich, and she's beginning her retrospective exhibition and her latest extended performance piece,

titled, The Artist is Present.

Abramovich is prepared to sit for eight hours, six days a week, for the next two and a half months,

during which she will gaze into the eyes of museum visitors who patiently wait in line to have their turn to silently engage with this

world-famous artist. They won't speak to her, and they won't touch her. Abramovich, her head

bent down to rest between visitors, then look slowly up at the new stranger seated in front of her,

engaging with them in a singular, completely silent

relationship. But on this day, May 14th, something amazing happens. Abramovich lifts her head to

acknowledge her newest visitor, only to find that it isn't a stranger at all. Sitting across from her is her past romantic and creative partner, Uly,

whom she hasn't seen since their relationship ended 22 years prior.

Imagine this.
