Having ć symbol stand out because the font does not support it is a story way too familiar to anyone from Balkans

Could be a fonting error, could be being really aggressive about not ignoring slavic diacritics. Considering the topic of the article, I say it could be either.

If it were the latter, why would it be misspelled in the title at the top of the page?

Isn’t that the soul cooking lady from the Podesta files?
Edit: yup looks like it

The fact this is the top comment shows that HN is healing.

Yeah, not so much. Half a decade ago there would be some interesting commentary on her performance art. Now it’s just Reddit tier meme comments and “it’s dumb and I think anyone that likes her is dumb.”

Walk Through Walls: A Memoir https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/288046/walk-through-walls-by... also covers her relationship with Ula.
Easy read, personal & entertaining. Highly recommended.

Also if you’re interested in this type of art, look up Tehching Hsieh, who was an inspiration to Abramović. He did some really cool stuff and only got recognition in the last 15 years or so.

For decades, I have successfully used reverence for Marina Abramovic as an attribute to filter out persons with whom I am incompatible.

Dollars to donuts the only thing standing in the way of you having a mutually meaningful conversation with anyone in this set of people is your low effort filter.

People who say stuff like this are just signaling. Same exact thing as the people that “don’t care about fashion” yet wear the same hoodie jeans uniform as everyone else.

Excellent, I will be copying you, and hope we meet. JK, seriously curious how this works out at an art-opening.

A decent red flag to detect typical New-Yorker intellectual fart sniffers.

Is it like "The Slavoj Žižek game" except with Marina Abramović instead of Slavoj Žižek?

She's always been so cringey. Like when she let people beat her up and called it art.

These self-proclaimed conceptual artists entire 'work' consists of doing stupid and pointless things in public to get money and attention and then act pretentiously about it. In other words, they invented the concept of influencer 30 or 40 years before it was mainstream on the internet.
