“Marina
Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing
art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had
run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from
one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing
each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The
Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each
stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it
and this is what happened.”
