Monday 27 March, 14.30 POSTPONED DUE TO ILLNESS
With Professor Clare Harris
In the summer of 2021, pioneering performance artist Marina Abramović undertook a research residency at the Pitt Rivers Museum in preparation for an exhibition at Modern Art Oxford. That residency inspired elements of her Gates and Portals exhibition at Modern Art Oxford and her installation at the Pitt Rivers Museum, which features new video work and drawings by the artist.
Join Professor Clare Harris, curator of Marina's work at the Pitt Rivers, to hear more.
