Eleanor
Wachtel, host of Writers & Company, talks to
Marina Abramovic, performance artist extraordinaire now living
in New York, but who grew up in the former Yugoslavia in a fascinating family of
so-called 'red Bourgeoisie' - privileged communists. It was a childhood in the
company of extreme personalities, and Abramovic became an extreme figure as an
artist, literally cutting her body in front of her audiences, enduring painful
and humiliating experiences in work that was about confronting fears, and
pushing limits.
Monday-Friday at 9 p.m. and Tuesday-Saturday at 3 a.m. ET
