Marina Abramovic was born in 1946 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. She attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade, and after formative explorations in painting, drawing, text, and sound art, she pioneered the use of performance as an art form.

The body has always been both Abramovic’s subject and medium. In her performances she has withstood pain, exhaustion, and danger in the quest for emotional transformation.
