Let's not dance around the issue that artists tend to be extremely narcissistic and attention seeking yet at the same time mad-genius. I am by no means an Abramovic expert but her work is jarring enough to influence if not inspire many. That's where the disturbing cult like factor comes in where she had a group of students pretty much brainwashed into worshipping her with enough footage scenes of satanic ritual..
She is one of those artists whom you admire and respect as an artist yet do not like her art. Kind of like Van Gogh or Pollock I guess. I mean lacertaing oneself with razor with wicca symbol is not exactly my cup of taste. It's gross...
What I don't like is the level of narcissism when a 'weirdo' with a picture-frame was escorted away. Why? As an artist you should be prepared for everything and accept all 'challenges'. That 'weirdo' probably was stealing her limelight and she felt threatened by it.
Why should that be a strength? Her agent even laughed away Blaine's proposal and Franco was made into a stooge. Almost as if no one is good enough to stand in the same pedestal as Her Goddess Mighty Abramovic.
Other than this mild blemish quite enjoyable and entertaining. She is creative, artistic has Job-like patience and is one of the GOATS. It doesn't matter if someone is a street hustler, rapper, Marilyn Monroe, Coco Chanel or one of the famous conceptual modern contemporary performer artist... I can respect the hustle no matter how narcissitic and attention seeking it may be.
