Marina Abramovic - Free Interdisciplinary Performance Lab

Marina Abramovic. Free Interdisciplinary Performance Lab is a powerful documentation of the groundbreaking teaching project led by the legendary performance artist during her tenure as the Pina Bausch Professor at Folkwang University of the Arts (2022–2023).

Abramović assembled an interdisciplinary group of over 20 students from fields such as classical and jazz music, dance, theater, design, photography, and directing. Together, they developed collective and individual performance concepts through a process-based methodology.

One of the core experiences was the “Cleaning the House” workshop, a ritual of mental and physical preparation developed by Abramović, allowing students to explore deep states of presence and personal boundaries.

This book offers an extraordinary insight into a new generation of performance artists under the guidance of a living icon of the genre.
