Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present
Seductive, fearless, and outrageous, Marina Abramovic has been redefining what art is for nearly forty years.

Of course I had to go see RoA and relived all the debauchery! It was a guilty pleasure, although not all of it was great (movie and life :))

TC was pretty damned good; the vocals were impressive...the music all around was pretty good, but most of the performances were sub-par.
