DESCRIPTION:Marina Abramovic has been called “the grandmother of performance art,” 
 although she’s as youthful as ever in Matthew Akers’s fascinating, 
 visually crisp documentary portrait, which tracks Abramovic’s celebrated 
 2010 MOMA retrospective. The Serbian-born artist made work in the 1970s 
 concerning the limits and conceptions of the body that have long since 
 become part of the modern art canon, yet she still continues to 
 athletically press at the boundaries of performance art. Granted a yearlong 
 all-access pass, Akers captures Abramovic’s many selves as she stages 
 this major exhibition. The MOMA show, titled “The Artist Is Present,” 
 was a marathon spectacle in which Abramovic faced viewers singly, 
 silently—gathering ever more fervent followers along the way. Akers’ 
 camera also captures her posing glamorously for fashion magazines; in guru 
 mode, training young artists to enact her early work; sick in bed using 
 chromatic therapies; domestic while cooking pasta; and emotionally raw 
 while reconnecting with her former art and life partner, Ulay. Marina 
 Abramovic: The Artist Is Present confidently meets built-in challenges, 
 giving the oft-reviled, ephemeral medium of performance a sympathetic, 
 mainstream platform and humanizing a woman who defies age as easily as 
 stereotypes. The documentary befits its subject: It’s a sleek, unerring 
 look in the eye of an extraordinary artist.\n\nLocation: SF Film Society
