Introducing the exhibition is an extensive survey of Abramović’s 50-year artistic journey, including early paintings, photographs, installations, and videos of her work known for challenging her physical and mental limits. This marks the first retrospective of Abramovic's work in Turkey.

The Abramovic Method is a large scale, public participatory event joining people in a communal experience to connect with oneself and with each other. Inside this quiet and non-hierarchical space, the public is invited to participate in a number of exercises and to observe others as they participate. Connecting people in this basic way and creating a space of mutual witnessing, the Method encourages the kind of collective vulnerability that human beings need in order to better coexist. Participants are both guided by facilitators and self-guided and can stay in the Method for as long as they wish.

At Akbank Sanat, MAI presented a series of documentation exhibitions and a screening program on Abramovic’s work. The exhibition explores the recent and past histories of performance art and the legacy that informs the practice today. The documentation exhibitions aim to introduce performance art to a public that might be unfamiliar with the form as a discipline, as well as contribute to an existing local dialogue on this field.
