Abramovic with or without Ulay represnts a sort of aestheticized reactionary anti-politics. There’s a long European tradition of that of which is the most famous practicioner in the last hunded years was Duchamp (though anyone who knows anything about the art world knows that such entertainment is still our bread and butter.) Americans, seeing Duchamp as the inventor of conceptualism, have never managed to reconcile their partial understanding with the fact the referred to himself as a monarchist. Europeans quite simply get the joke. D’s critique of modernism was as reactionary as Sade’s. Monarchists are anti-bourgeois too (and court jesters don’t have to lie.) I have no huge problem with Abramovic, but I think to understand her work is to see it’s limits. Marina Abramovic

This sure puts a dent in the "new napalm" theory. But one thing we seem to know now for sure is that phosphorus burns everything it comes in contact with. So the whole "clothes not burned" thing is extremely suspect now. Very interesting. This sure puts a dent in the “new napalm” theory.
