Solo performances in the early 1970's "Rhythms"

Shout until she was completely hoarse.

Dance until she collapsed.

Buffeted by a wind machine until she passed out.

Rhythm 5 (1974)

She lay down in the center of a fire until she passed out from lack of oxygen and had to be rescued.

Rhythm 0 (1974 )

Stood in the space of the Studio Mona Gallery in Naples next to a table holding 72 objects. Tools, scissors, a loaded gun.

Performance had to stop because after the visitors had cut off all her clothing, she was also required to place the barrel of the gun into her open mouth.

Visitors were invited to use them and her as they saw fit.

Rhythm 2

edit

The section on Rhythm 2 in this revision that has been reverted twice now, has the order of the medications correct.

According to this source:

Dezeuze, Anna; Ward, Frazer (2012). "Marina Abramovic: Approaching zero". The "do-it-yourself" artwork: participation from Fluxus to new media. Manchester: Manchester University Press. pp. 132–144. ISBN 978-0-7190-8747-9.

"she first took a drug usually given to catatonic patients to make them move, then, after the effects of that had worn off, a drug given to schizophrenic patients to calm them down"


Order of the People's Heroes

edit

The article says: "After the war, Abramović's parents were awarded Order of the People's Heroes."

In German Wikipedia, this claim is doubted as follows: "Abramović's brother Velimir who lives in Belgrad said multiple times in interviews that his sister has made up this story about their father being a national hero because she likes to see him that way." (source)

Can anybody with greater expertise than me check this info please?
