By Carles | May 20, 2010
Some performance artist named Marina Abramović is doing some sort of ‘art work’ at the Museum of Modern Art where she sits and stares at people all day. It is called The Artist is Present, and u r supposed to feel ‘deep and emotional’ looking into her soul [link to website]. The photos of every1 staring at her are uploaded to some flickr site. Tons of famous people and alt-looking New Yorkers have ’started 2 go see this live meme’ going down, probably to get press/feel more famous.
Bjork recently stopped by to get her stare on with this mopey old lady, and it seems like they had a meaningful telepathic conversation.
Marina Abramović: Sup sligga
Bjork: Hey How r u
Marina Abramović: What r u doing 2day?
Bjork: nmh. how abt u?
Marina Abramović: just gettin my stare on.
Bjork: I really like what ur doing. u inspire me
Marina Abramović: haha ditto. sometimes I jam 2 u on my iPod when I make art
Bjork: O ya, which song do u like?
Marina Abramović: Mainly the early stuff. Ur later stuff is inaccessible
Bjork: Ya, I agree. Sorta just on cruise control now that my brand is established
Marina Abramović: Ya, I am hoping this internet meme art piece puts me over the top with mainstream blog fame
Bjork: so what do u like to do in ur spare time?
Marina Abramović: just artsy shit
Bjork: o that’s kewl.
Marina Abramović: where did u grow up, anyways?
Bjork: I am from Iceland.
Marina Abramović: I have met many great people from Iceland. They have a truly creative spirit.
Bjork: I’m really creative. I didn’t even go to school, I was raised by a collective of animals.
Marina Abramović: Like the band?
Bjork: No, like there were some wolves, a bear, some snow foxes, and some Icelandic llamas. We’d spend all day doing creative projects and writing music.
Marina Abramović: That’s kewl.
Bjork: There’s no such thing as ‘cool.’
Marina Abramović: Andy Warhol.
Bjork: Who is that?
Marina Abramović: He’s the guy who inspired Lady Gaga
Bjork: Who is Lady Gaga?
Marina Abramović: Isn’t that the singer that you are ripping off? She wears all this zany ass clothing
Bjork: There is no one else on this earth like me.
