Press release

Marina Abramović, a pioneer of performance art, presents her first major retrospective in Switzerland at the Kunsthaus Zürich. The exhibition includes works from every phase of her career, iconic performances and a new, interactive piece.

Works from all creative periods; audience as performers

The Kunsthaus Zürich presents Marina Abramović’s first comprehensive retrospective in Switzerland. It includes works from all her creative periods, along with live restagings of some historical performances. Of particular interest is a new piece designed specially for Zurich that directly involves the audience. Abramović is known for her ‘long-durational performances’, in which she explores physical and mental limits. These works invite visitors to experience mindfulness and self-perception in new ways.
