Marina Abramovic is a busy woman. One minute she has her forehead pressed against Jay Z's in the Pace Gallery, the next she is in the woods with a nude Lady Gaga practicing the Abramovic Method, all while raising money for the Abramovic Institute. As a performance artist, Abramovic has collaborated with many other artists throughout her career, but her recent work with the aforementioned music icons has raised a few eyebrows. In this video posted to the Abramovic Institute Vimeo page, Marina explains why "intergenerational collaboration" is important, both for young and older artists:
