About the Author

Since the beginning of her career in Belgrade during the early 1970s, Marina Abramovic has pioneered performance art, creating some of the form's most important early works. She was awarded the Golden Lion for Best Artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale and in 2010 had her first major US retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2023 she will present the solo exhibition After Life at the Royal Academy in London, and become the first female artist in the institution's 250-year history to occupy the entire gallery space with her work.

Praise for The Marina Abramovic Method: Instruction Cards to Reboot Your Life

""Ever sat and stared into another person’s eyes for an hour? Ever stumbled around a space blindfolded wearing earplugs? Ever stared at a wall? Well, now you can, and not just for fun: you’ll be learning The Marina Abramovi? Method, devised by the world-famous performance artist known for her self-punishing and extreme artistic measures." – artnet news,

"Our final conclusion is that The Marina Abramovi? Method is a disarming combination of genuine and fascinating artistic process, mixed in with a liberal sprinkling of straight out nonsense. But one woman’s nonsense is another woman’s genius." - DailyArt Magazine

"Improve your life, the Marina Abramovi? way." – The Art Newspaper

"Although the activities [in The Abramovic Method] are relatively simple, they will be new practices for most people. Doing just one a day can help with stronger focus and connection with the present moment to increase creative potential." – Through the Reading Glass

"Created by Abramovi? and arts and fiction writer Katya Tylevich, the 30-card set makes some ambitious and alluring promises: to ‘purge your mind of all unnecessary distractions and anxieties’ and ‘unleash your creativity’." –Wallpaper*

"The card deck is the distillation of her own process of readying for performances and art-making; many of the techniques are simple mindfulness exercises. And it’s surprisingly (refreshingly?) earnest." – The LA Times
