Answer

"The Artist Is Present" was a performance piece by conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramović. For the duration of the performance, Abramović sat perfectly still in the Sean Kelly Gallery in New York City, inviting visitors to sit across from her and silently engage with her in one-on-one encounters. The work explored the power dynamics between artist and viewer and challenged traditional notions of artistic performance and spectatorship.
