The conceptual artist, Marina Abramovi\u0107 believes that we live in sad times when there is no room for laughter. The health and economic crisis that is devastating the five continents has placed a gloomy halo over all of us. Consequently, according to the Serbian artist, we have lost part of the essence that characterises human beings, a sense of humour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Marina<\/strong><\/p>\n

You probably know her for her most emotional performance of 2010. Sitting in front of an empty chair at the MoMA Museum<\/strong><\/a> in New York, she was waiting for strangers to take a seat and chat with looks for a few minutes. Until an unexpected visitor surprised Abramovi\u0107. Fran Uwe Laysuepen<\/strong>, the artist best known by his pseudonym Ulay, was Marina’s creative and sentimental partner, and the two met again after 23 years apart. The emotional sensitivity of silence and her coded words created an aura that manifested and elevated the power of art.<\/p>\n
