have you heard about that lady at the MoMA who sits in a chair all day facing a table and an empty chair? her name is marina abramovic and she is a performance artist whose current show is called "The Artist is Present." you might remember that sex and the city episode with the artist who starved herself... where carrie first met alexandr petrovsky? that was based on abramovic.
anyway. a funny thing happened the other day when another performance artist from brooklyn dressed up just like marina and got first in line and sat in the chair opposite her all day. read her interview. she says describes the experience, and says when the exhibit finally closed for the night, she finally got a smile from the artist.

Amy went to that! She waited in line for 4 hours to sit with her.
I read a thing about her in the New Yorker a few weeks ago. One of her old shows involved cutting a star into her tummy with a razor. Art. Maybe just make a collage or something?
