Akış/Flux: Marina Abramović + MAI

Akış/Flux: Marina Abramović + MAI

Akış / Flux is organized through the collaboration of Marina Abramović, the Marina Abramović Institute (MAI) and Sakıp Sabancı Museum (SSM). The exhibition aims to provide a comprehensive experience of performance art. Performance is a live form of art—the constituent elements being the artist’s body, time, space and the public.

The first part of the exhibition comprises of an extensive survey of Abramović’s 50-year artistic journey, including early paintings, photographs, installations, and videos of her work known for challenging her physical and mental limits.

The second section consists of live performances by 12 Turkish and 4 invited international artists who will participate in the project. The performances are long durational—lasting continuously for 6 hours every day the museum is open.

Akış / Flux creates a space, where individual encounters transform into a collective experience, constructing a new understanding of the museum as an enabler of reflection, participation, and community.
