The thesis of my paper is that art participatory practices in public space have a paradoxical potential to avoid a paradigm of visibility. What I call the paradigm of visibility is a formula of social presence of art which is based on a necessity of occupying a certain physical or symbolical space and an effort to sustain it. This kind of public presence of art is traditionally considered to be a guarantee of its value in terms of both artistic and social legitimisation. A question arises if this formula has an alternative. It seems that participatory art practices in public space – focused on production of objects and searching for social impact and social efficacy – can formulate a different model of presence of art (of its production and distribution) than object-based art.

The purpose of the article is to interpret Marina Abramović’s project – The Artist Is Present – within the theories of liveness and encounter. First of all, we define post-mediatic culture referring to Piotr Celiński’s proposals and the term ‘encounter’ according to Adam Węgrzecki. Finally, we propose some considerations on the encounter as a methodological approach to the phenomena whose main characteristic is liveness (Peggy Phelan and Philip Auslander). Finally, we pass to the analysis of the performance of Marina Abramović The Artist Is Present based on the considerations made previously.

The connection between video art and performance art has been inseparable since 1967, when the first commercial camera Sony Portapak appeared on the American market. The development of video art and performance art has been parallel. On the one hand, autonomous languages which used different discourses were created, on the other hand, the interaction was inextricable, long-lasting and very stimulating. Marina Abramović, recording her activities as a performer on video and then placing them in the space of her installations, gained a high level of energy in the picture, which became transcendent, a sign of body and life, a meditation. Abramović consciously sacralizes her art and highlights its meditational character. In that way the art became a loop of a video sequence, a multifaceted icon.

The Loop of Images. Video According to Marina Abramowić The connection between video art and performance art has been inseparable since 1967, when the first commercial camera Sony Portapak appeared on the American market. The development of video art and performance art has been parallel. On the one hand, autonomous languages which used different discourses were created, on the other hand, the interaction was inextricable, long-lasting and very stimulating. Marina Abramović, recording her activities as a performer on video and then placing them in the space of her installations, gained a high level of energy in the picture, which became transcendent, a sign of body and life, a meditation. Abramović consciously sacralizes her art and highlights its meditational character. In that way the art became a loop of a video sequence, a multifaceted icon.

Body art and performance art are often discussed together, and even identified as the same thing. A careful analysis of these artistic trends and the accompanying theoretical commentary tends, however, to highlight their differences. Body art turns out to be a phenomenon manifesting significant similarity to the modernist conception of art in the spirit similar to the concept of Clement Greenberg, while performance art largely rejects these assumptions. Performative aesthetics developed by Erika Fischer-Lichte on the one hand stems from challenging modernist artistic essentialism, but on the other emphasizes the role of “the radical concept of presence” of the artist. The article presents a detailed analysis of two new creative achievements of Marina Abramović, the artist associated both with body art and performance art: Seven Easy Pieces (2005) and The Artist is Present (2010). The indicated ambiguity of performance art has been radicalized in their case. They combine the modernist emphasis on authenticity, presence, and essentialism with the postmodern penchant for citing. The phenomenon of pastiche described by Frederic Jameson has been transformed in such a way that it is no longer empty but takes over the whole of the performer’s self. The term “neomodern” is used today in a variety of meanings. The issues discussed in the article suggest the possibility of understanding it as overcoming the oppositions characteristic of modernism and postmodernism, while maintaining some of the features of these two trends regarding their respective approaches to art.

Sztuka ciała i performance art często omawiane są łącznie, a nawet utożsamiane. Uważna analiza tych tendencji artystycznych oraz towarzyszących im komentarzy teoretycznych skłania jednak do zaznaczenia dzielących je różnic. Body art okazuje się wówczas zjawiskiem wykazującym istotne związki z modernistycznym pojmowaniem sztuki w duchu zbliżonym do koncepcji Clementa Greenberga, natomiast performance art założenia te w znacznym stopniu odrzuca. Także estetyka performatywna rozwijana przez Erikę Fischer-Lichte z jednej strony wywodzi się z zakwestionowania modernistycznego esencjalizmu artystycznego, choć jednocześnie akcentuje rolę „radykalnej koncepcji obecności” artysty. W artykule szczegółowej analizie poddane zostały dwa nowe dokonania twórcze Mariny Abramović, artystki łączonej zarówno ze sztuką ciała i performance art: Seven Easy Pieces (2005) oraz The Artist is Present (2010). Wskazana niejednoznaczność performance art została w nich zradykalizowana. Łączą one modernistyczne zaakcentowanie autentyczności, obecności, esencjalizmu z postmodernistycznym cytowaniem. Opisywane przez Frederica Jamesona zjawisko pastiszu przekształcone zostało w taki sposób, że przestaje on być pusty, a przejmuje pełnię „ja” performera. Pojęcie „neomodernizm” używane jest dziś w różnych znaczeniach. Omówiona w artykule problematyka sugeruje możliwość pojmowania go jako przekroczenia opozycji właściwych dla modernizmu i postmodernizmu, przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu pewnych cech obu tych nurtów myślenia o sztuce.

The twelve-year collaborative practice of Marina Abramović and Ulay (Franck Uwe Laysiepen), started with extreme, rapturous and unflinching explorations of capacities of the body in their early performances (a phase they called The Warriors), that corresponded to the fury of the 1970s. In an environment hostile to the living, phenomenological body (in arts, in theoretical discourse) of the 1980s, the two artists recalibrated their living and artistic strategy. During their extensive journeys into distant lands (deserts of Asia, Africa, Australia), they were introduced to and embraced the practices of Eastern meditation techniques, which secured and procured their escape from the limitations of their own culture and their relationship. They also significantly influenced and modified forms and functions of their joint performances. The refined simplicity and stillness of the form of their many-times (re)enacted performance Nightsea Crossing focussed and spurred their inner forces towards self-perfection and the unfolding of more sophisticated lines of connection with the outside, with otherness. The legacy of this performance has affected the direction and function of their later, individual careers.
