In the latest episode of Where It’s At, Jefferson Hack sits down with the legendary performance artist to talk about divine energy and her boundary-pushing, durational performances

This week on Where It’s At, Jefferson Hack talks to Marina Abramović, one of the greatest artists living today, as she prepares for her upcoming autumn show Balkan Erotic Epic at Manchester’s Aviva Studios. In a deeply moving and candid conversation, the pair discuss divine energy, the artist’s decades-long obsession with pleasure and pain and her “door of secrets” which, once accessed, means she can transcend any discomfort during her boundary-pushing, long durational performances.
