curate: Marina Abramović with Marco Anelli, “Portrait with white lamb” (2010) Nothing like plain white clothing and a little baby sheep to signify new life. Abramović’s Back to Simplicity series strikes me as a rebirth of sorts. From ArtDaily: The series “Back to Simplicity”—Marina Abramović’s most recent work, never before shown in Brazil—arose from the need to reestablish the artist’s contact with nature, in its simplest and most immediate forms, after the cathartic experience of Abramović’s three-month-long performance piece entitled The Artist is Present, presented at a recent solo show at MoMA New York. In the words of the artist: “after I had been looking at one thousand six hundred and seventy five pairs of eyes, after that incredible human connection, I needed to be connected with nature. (…) Being under a tree, holding a lamb for two days, in complete joy, that’s what ‘Back to Simplicity’ is all about.”
