Marina Abramovic The Artist Is Present (2012)

"Marina Abramovic The Artist Is Present" is the acclaimed documentary following the performance artist. It traces her through her grueling MoMA retrospective. It follows decades of endurance-based work leading up to the silent, hours-long sitting piece. That piece turned museum visitors into spectacle. Filmmaker Josephine Decker figures among the subjects captured within the film. Her footage is the source of the single nude scene archived here on the site. It's a brief, bare glimpse woven into an otherwise cerebral study. That study covers art, exposure, and the body as medium. Fans of boundary-pushing art documentaries will find plenty to sit with here.
