Annual artistic experience

February 2025 will see the launch of the Annual Artist Experience, which will take place during the Zona Maco art fair. This year, an initial group of invited participants, including 150 university students, will attend. Marina Abramović, who is working in Mexico for the first time since the 1990s, will be the guest artist, giving an artist talk and performing an intervention in the courtyard of La Cuadra.
 

Marina Abramović – Intervention at La Cuadra 
 

It is an innovative series that invites visionaries in the art world to create site-specific interventions on our campus. Marina Abramović, the legendary performance artist, has redefined the boundaries of artistic expression with works that challenge physical and mental limits. Her transformative performances have earned her worldwide recognition as one of the most influential figures in contemporary art.

About the Artist

Marina Abramović

Since the beginning of her career in Belgrade in the early 1970s, Marina Abramović has been a pioneer in performance art, creating some of the most important works of the early stages of this art form. Exploring her physical and mental limits, she has endured pain, exhaustion, and danger in her quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. In September 2023, she opened her solo exhibition at the Royal Academy. With this show, she became the first female artist in the institution's 250-year history to occupy the entire gallery space with her work.
