Born November 30, 1946, Belgrade - Yugoslavian master of performance, actress, producer, director and screenwriter.
At the age of 14, she asked her father to buy her oil paints. One of her father's friends decided to show her how to use them: he put the canvas on the floor, splashed a mixture of paints on it and blew it up. Using this example, Marina realized that in art “the process is more important than the result”.
In 1964 her father left the family. In a 1998 interview, Abramovich described how her “mother took complete, military-style control over my brother and me. I was not allowed to leave the house after 10 pm until I was 29. I performed all the performances in Yugoslavia before 10 pm, because at that time I had to be at home. It was absolute madness, but all my cuts, whipping, burning, which could take my life - everything was done until 10 pm. "
She was a student at the University of the Arts in Belgrade from 1965 to 1970. In 1972 she completed her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, Croatia. From 1973 to 1975 she taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Novi Sad, giving her first solo performances.
From 1971 to 1976 Marina was married to Nesh Paripovich.
Since 1976 he has been living in Amsterdam. After moving to Amsterdam, Abramovich met the West German performance artist Uwe Laysiepen, who performed under the pseudonym Ulay. In 1988, after years of strained relations, Abramovich and Ulay decided to part ways. To do this, they embarked on a journey along the Great Wall of China: starting from opposite ends, they met in the middle to say goodbye to each other.
In 1997, she received the Golden Lion Prize at the 47th Venice Biennale for her work “Balkan Baroque” - the artist washed a mountain of bloody bones in memory of the victims of the war in Yugoslavia.
In 2016, the website of Penguin Random House published information that on October 25, 2016 the artist will release her autobiography "Walk Through Walls".
