Limited Edition Vinyl
Description
This Limited Edition Vinyl is the result of a collaboration between The Vinyl Factory with the Serpentine Galleries and Marina Abramović.
The vinyl features a recording of Abramović performing her An Artist's Life Manifesto, recorded at the Serpentine Gallery on the eve of her exhibition 512 Hours.
The second track is of the live sounds occurring in the empty gallery space (5pm on 6 June 2014). This ‘blank’ recording (in which there is no live voice speaking) at once encapsulates Abramović’s own parameters for her exhibition 512 Hours, in which the gallery space is left completely empty, with the exception of her own presence.
This unique vinyl edition of only 100 copies has been hand signed and numbered by the artist, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed in a bespoke gatefold sleeve.
Marina Abramović.

Artist
Marina Abramovic
Marina Abramovic, (b. 1946 in Belgrade) attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade during the early 1970s. Abramovic has pioneered the use of performance as a visual art form. The body has always been both her subject and medium. Exploring the physical and mental limits of her being, she has withstood pain, exhaustion, and danger in the quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. Abramovic's concern is with creating works that ritualize the simple actions of everyday life like lying, sitting, dreaming, and thinking; in effect the manifestation of a unique mental state. As a vital member of the generation of pioneering performance artists that includes Bruce Nauman, Vito Acconci, and Chris Burden, Abramovic created some of the most historic early performance pieces and is one of few still making important durational works.
