Abramović's lecture follows the trajectory of performance art from the 1970s
to the present. Her presentation poses the following questions: What is the
future of performance art? Can it be re-performed? If so, under what
conditions? Can it be taught and how? Can it be collected? Is it part of our
mainstream culture or not? Free and open to the public, this event is part
