Marina Abramovic, a 77-year-old famous performance artist, held her first exhibition in China at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Shanghai. The exhibition, which runs from Thursday to February 28, features more than 1,000 images of Abramovic and German artist Ulay’s Great Wall of China walk, as well as internationally sourced crystal-based objects and ‘transit・Object” series. To bring the Great Wall of China piece to life, Abramovich brings traditional Chinese medicinal herbs to the show, which can be experienced in an interactive piece called “Reprogramming Floating.” With healing rituals on the rise, Abramovic’s immersive crystal healing installation, which spans the museum’s three floors, aims to not only drive ticket sales but also raise mental health awareness.
