ABOUT
Marina Abramović is a pioneering performance and conceptual artist renowned for intertwining the physical and the psychological in works that often challenge the audience. Over five decades, she has propelled the medium of performance art to mainstream through works imbued with strength, ritual, and spirituality. Her latest solo exhibition opened at the Royal Academy of Arts in September—it is the 250-year-old institution’s first retrospective on a female artist. It makes sense; Abramović is always first to break the rules.
To describe Michèle Lamy requires you forget neat categories and forgo any ideas of clearly delineated borders. You could call her an artist, a performer, or a designer, but no label reliably conveys her essence or spiritual force. You could say that for Lamy, life itself is a work of art. Controversial and enigmatic, her energy and creative output is mesmerising.
