ART CITIES:Sao Paolo-Marina Abramović

“Spirituality is different from art. But you need spiritual consciousness to make a good work” Marina Abramović

The method is now available to the public at Terra Comunal – MAI. Visitors will learn and then practice a series of Method exercises from trained facilitators. The most straightforward task such as walking or breathing becomes a means through which participants can hone perception and investigate their individual mental and physical limits. Performing these simple actions counteracts the rushed pace of day-to-day living. Emphasis is placed on consciously doing one thing at a time, often very slowly, to achieve a deeper awareness of the self and the outside world. A special series of Transitory Objects, primarily chairs and tables embedded with minerals and crystals, was created by Abramovic to enhance the Method experience with materials that possess natural energetic properties. Crystals are the focus of Abramovic’s artistic research in Brazil, which she began many years ago and still continues to this day. The specific minerals chosen for these Transitory Objects are believed to have the power to maintain the energy of a moment long after it has passed. The most important is that everyone who wants to learn the method or watch the sessions, they took place, 5 times is daily and 4 times on Sundays, the session process takes:2 h&30’.
