Ulay, on Marina Ambramovic: “At the time we met there was immediately a fascination. Type-wise, character-wise, personality-wise, the work we had been doing singularly, she and me. You know, there was a recognition like you have found a lost brother or a lost sister, or something like this. Plus, that we were born on the same day, November the 30th, both Sagittarius. Obvious. You know, destiny brought us together. We were lovers, we were friends, we were performers, all at once. And our love was always on top of it.

Beili Liu - The Mending Project, 2011
“The installation consists of hundreds of Chinese scissors suspended from the ceiling, pointing downwards. The hovering, massive cloud of scissors alludes to distant fear, looming violence and worrisome uncertainty. The performer sits beneath the countless sharp blades of the scissors, and performs an on-going simple task of mending.”

Jay Z Video Puts Hip-Hop And Art Back In The Same Room
The summer of 2013 has largely been about rapper/music mogul/sports agent Jay Z. Even without a real radio hit, he’s remained at the center of the conversation with his #newrules approach to marketing his latest studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail. The opening salvo was a 3-minute Samsung ad announcing the album title and release date that first appeared during Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The phone company bought a million copies of the album (most likely before it was even done), the RIAA changed their rules about bulk corporate buys and Jay Z went platinum before a single consumer had the chance to run out to the record store.
The video for “Picasso Baby" — sorry, “Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film" — was shot at Pace Gallery in New York City’s Chelsea in July, with a backdrop of adoring fans, famous actors, fashion designers and artists. They ring the room while some of those in attendance step up and interact with Jay as he performs the song. It’s a version of Marina Abramovic’s performance art piece “The Artist Is Present," which she put on three years ago at the Museum of Modern Art. Except she was silent. Jay is not, and the energy, at least as captured by the video, is at 11.

ART: Ji Yeo - Society’s Ideal Beauty
South Korean artist Ji Yeo intensively focuses on the notion of beauty and its complex definition within contemporary society.
‘Ji believes beauty is integral to human nature, and people find beauty in the most difficult circumstances, during emotional chaos and disorder, within societal taboos and the breaking of such taboos and even in the face of death.’
Definitely check out her photos from "Beauty Recovery Room"!

The following video is a recording of Chilean artist Fabien Gaete Maureira who is the most insanely talented finger painter I've witnessed to date. He is based in Santiago, Chile.
To paint, the most important thing is to look forward, as it is very likely that the first attempts, do not give the result you expect. - Fabien Gaete Maureira

Marina Abramovic meets Ulay “Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”
Wow, this is so tragically beautiful. Seriously, watch the video.

Dennis Oppenheim, Two Stage Transfer Drawing
“As I run a marker along Eric’s s back he attempts to duplicate the movement on the wall. My activity stimulates a kinetic response from his sensory system. I am, therefore, Drawing Through Him.”
Fascinating.
