The Art Of Nothing!🤯

For nearly three months in 2010, Marina Abramović sat motionless and silent in a wooden chair at MoMA's atrium, six days a week for a total of roughly 736 hours and 30 minutes — never getting up to eat or use the bathroom, her shoulders aching and her legs swelling from the strain. One by one, strangers sat in the empty chair across from her for as long as they wished, locking eyes with the artist in total silence with no talking and no touching allowed. By the end of the run, more than 1,500 people had sat across from her, and roughly 850,000 visitors passed through the atrium in total, with 17,000 showing up on the final day alone. Some sitters wept openly, overwhelmed by the emotional connection they felt, and some — like makeup artist Paco Blancas, who sat across from her 21 separate times — became fixtures of the piece themselves. The performance, titled The Artist Is Present, is now considered one of the defining works of endurance-based performance art
