Her unrelenting focus on the body and the limits of the performer has resulted in some of the canon?s seminal works, from Rhythm 10, 1973, in which the artist duplicated a recording of herself stabbing knives between her fingers, through to her three-month endurance work The Artist is Present, 2010, which was part of her solo exhibition at New York MoMA ? the museum's largest ever exhibition of performance art. Abramovic won the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1997, has been included in Documenta three times, and has exhibited in numerous museums internationally. In 2012 she will open the Marina Abramovic Institute, dedicated to the preservation of performance art. 2010-09-27T10:10:00+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/andrew-hunt-jennifer-thatcher-talk-show-september-2010 Andrew Hunt and Jennifer Thatcher discuss new trends and approaches to gallery design, and a new book, Curating and the Educational Turn, which suggests that a shift towards education pervades current curatorial practice. 2010-09-20T16:55:43+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/for-and-against-the-interview-roadshow-september-2010 The interview: an invaluable historical tool or a perpetuation of the cult of celebrity?

He has work in the Tate Collection, has twice exhibited in the Venice Biennale and presented a solo show at London’s Lisson Gallery earlier this year. 2010-02-21T14:00:49+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/kimsooja-talking-art-february-2010 Born in South Korea, New York-based artist Kimsooja is renowned for her performative video works and sculptural installations.

Though deceptively simple and extremely elegant, her juxtapositions of text and image pack a powerful punch, as in Untitled (2 necklines) of 1989, in which the text between two circular photographs of necklines reads: ?ring, surround, lasso, noose, eye, areola, halo, cuffs, collar, loop?, ending with the phrase, ?feel the ground sliding from under you?. 2009-03-07T14:00:19+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/dave-beech-jennifer-thatcher-talk-show-february-2009 Matt Hale in conversation with Dave Beech and Jennifer Thatcher discussing critical art after Postmodernism. 2009-02-13T17:00:07+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/christian-boltanski-talking-art-december-2008 French artist Christian Boltanski thinks of himself as a painter but is best known for his photographic installations.

For the inaugural Folkestone Biennial of 2008, Boltanski created a moving sound piece, Whispers, comprising readings from the private love letters of soldiers and their lovers from the First World War. 2008-12-06T14:00:07+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/dennis-oppenheim-talking-art-october-2008 Dennis Oppenheim’s practice has taken in actions, performances, installations, sculptures, film, architecture and everything in between. Seminal early works include Cancelled Crop, 1969, a field was harvested in the form of an X, and Reading Position for Second Degree Burn, 1970, a photographic diptych of Oppenheim lying on Jones Beach in New York, one with an open book (titled Tactics) face down on his chest, and one without showing the void created after five hours exposed to the sun. In recent years he has returned to the object and created installations including the Garden for the Accused in New York. 2008-10-25T14:00:50+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/what-is-the-future-of-art-education-part-2-roadshow-october-2008 What is the Future of Art Education? In response to demand, Art Monthly organised two public debates: one in London in September and one in Birmingham in October. At these events readers were given the opportunity to question educational professionals and policy makers. The panels debated the motion: ‘Is further privatisation, corporatisation and instrumentalism inevitable or are there alternatives?’ and responded directly to the question ‘What is the Future of Art Education?’ Panel: Pavel Büchler, artist and research professor at Manchester Metropolitan University.

In the course of making her work, Cornelia Parker has shot at objects, thrown them from cliffs, blown them up and rolled over them with a steam roller. Her sculptural processes have been described as ?mimicking cartoon deaths?. Parker?s work is both dramatic and delicate, powerful and intricate ? out of destruction she creates tragedy and beauty. 2008-05-31T14:00:49+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/glenn-ligon-talking-art-april-2008 I went to see, I went to see Logan?s Run,? right?

Metzger was also involved in the Fluxus movement and famously declared an Art Strike from 1977 to 1980. Concerned with environmental issues in art already in the 1970s, many of his projects are now seen as astonishingly prescient. After a career spanning decades, he is now in greater demand than ever, generating new projects as for Münster Sculpture Projects 2007 or realising earlier ideas, as with Project Stockholm, originally conceived in 1972 for the UN Environmental Conference in Stockholm. Now produced for the Sharjah Biennale (2007), the huge installation consists of 120 cars that discharge their exhaust fumes into a plastic structure. 2008-03-29T14:00:42+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/lawrence-weiner-talking-art-february-2008 In 1968 Lawrence Weiner formulated his famous ?Declaration of Intent? which became a manifesto of Conceptual Art: The artist may construct the piece. The piece may be fabricated. The piece need not be built. Each being equal and consistent with the intent of the artist the decision as to condition rests with the receiver upon the occasion of receivership. After a prolific career of more than forty years, his art remains singularly relevant today. Following his highly acclaimed retrospective As far as the eye can see (Whitney Museum of American Art, New York), Lawrence Weiner discusses his work with art historian and critic John Slyce. 2008-02-02T13:59:59+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/christian-marclay-talking-art-november-2007 Artist Christian Marclay is renowned for his collages of music, sculpture, film and image.

Part of the art market, art fairs don’t just benefit dealers and collectors but artists too, so why do so many art critics despise them? Isn’t it time to move the debate along from the default position of ‘museum shows good: art fairs bad?’ Panel: Pryle Berhman, Lisa Le Feuvre, Peter Suchin 2007-11-07T18:30:24+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/seth-siegelaub-pavel-buchler-in-discussion-october-2007 The two artists in conversation. 2007-10-27T18:00:54+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/joep-van-lieshout-talking-art-october-2007 In 2001 Atelier Van Lieshout realised AVL-Ville, a ?free state? in the port of Rotterdam, the biggest work of art by Atelier van Lieshout to date. This free state is a mix of art environment and sanctuary, full of well-known and new works by AVL, with the special attraction that everything is fully operational. Not art to simply look at, but to live with, to live in and to live by. In 2002 AVL has recently located its first AVL-Ville export product in Park Middelheim in Antwerp: the AVL Franchise Unit. One of the most recent projects of AVL is SlaveCity, an up-to-date concentration camp, a sinister disutopian project which is very rational, efficient and profitable. The inhabitants of the city work in vast patterns of seven hours; they work in the CallCenters and also labour to maintain the city. SlaveCity is the first ?zero energy? town of this size in the world and functions without imported mineral fuel or electricity. 2007-10-20T14:00:40+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/martha-rosler-talking-art-september-2007 The influential American artist interviewed by Iwona Blazwick. 2007-09-29T14:00:55+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/art-music-performance-roadshow-august-2007 David Ryan and Kirsten Norrie are both artists and both musicians, Sally O’Reilly is a critic and curator of performance events and all three write for Art Monthly. They discussed the crossovers between music, performance and other art forms and tried to address some of problems of definition that arise as a result. They tackled the common questions about interdisciplinarity such as how do you critique or react to a work which combines more than one art form? How context affects the work – when music is played within an art context and vice versa? What difference can the audience make if the work is ‘participatory’, ‘interactive’, or ‘transactive’? 2007-08-10T13:00:16+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/institutionalisation-for-all-roadshow-july-2007 Worlds within Worlds: The Institutions of Art ‘If institutionalisation once lurked ominously in the distance for the avant-garde radical, today it is instantaneous, ubiquitous and unexceptional.’ – Dave Beech Are today’s artists powerless to resist institutionalisation? The Art Monthly panel will attempt to define the concepts of ‘institutionalisation’ in art and ‘the institutions of art’ and debate the changing practice of institutional critique, including the phenomenon of self-institutionalisation which, arguably, has superseded it. 2007-07-15T12:00:14+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/hans-haacke-talking-art-june-2007 Hans Haacke, known for his incisive, unflinchingly political works exposing systems of power and influence both within and without the art world, gives his first interview in this country since his two major retrospectives in Germany earlier this year. 2007-06-23T14:00:53+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/the-camera-never-lies-roadshow-november-2007 The Camera Never Lies?

Who judges the value of art – the collector, the dealer, the curator or the critic? Art Monthly critics Dave Beech, JJ Charlesworth, Jonathan Harris and Sarah James met to debate the relationship between criticism and the art market and what this means for the formation of critical judgements about art. 2005-10-08T14:00:52+00:00 http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/magazine/site/events/crisis-what-crisis-are-we-facing-a-crisis-in-art-criticism-roadshow-2003 The State of Art Criticism Following a seminar convened by Alex Coles and held at Tate Britian on the theme of the state of Art Criticism a series of features were published in Art Monthly.
