For the first time ever, all of their collaborative projects are brought together in one place. The exhibition goes beyond simply presenting art and documentation of their projects; In addition to showing their joint artistic practice it also includes material from their shared life — documents, written agreements with institutions, personal correspondence between the artists, photographs, and even playlists of the music they listened to. The exhibition will be on view until May 3, 2026.Notes:ART VITAL exhibition (Cukrarna/MGML, Ljubljana, SI): https://cukrarna.art/en/program/exhibitions/33/ulaymarina-abramovic/ Marina Abramović & Ulay: No Predicted End: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OnmjKWPEjQ AMA Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1jctbp/i_am_performance_artist_marina_abramovic_ask_me/ Tourmaline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourmaline Ulay Interview: How I Stole a Painting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2E0J6J3KGI Huge thanks to Mojca Podlesek from CUKRARNA <3Music: Ema Kobal, Urška Bajec KošmrljFoto: Tim Topić
