On May 31, 2010, the artist Marina Abramovic has been sitting, six days a week, seven hours a day in a plain chair, under bright klieg lights, in MoMA’s towering atrium. This is one of the longest pieces of performance art on record, and certainly the one with the largest audience. When she leaves that chair Monday for the last time, she will have clocked 700 hours of sitting.

I know little about the performance art, but it is hard to try, even to think of such fool thing.
For most office workers, long time sitting is terrible. crazy...unbelievable.

Marina Abramovic is the one with an red robe.

It would be greater that she can stand for this long, then she will not worry about traveling by train in china， especially during the Spring Move.

Which is more crazy,, the 2 people sitting and staring at each other or the spectators watching this boring display. I hope they did not pay alot to see this. I will wait for the movie to come out!! ^_^

Haha, what I wonder most is, er, what was going on in their mind? without any word. It is terrible when someone is staring at me for long.

Loki, you need a good relax, especially your face. It must be very tired when you smile like that for long time. I appreciate sweet smile...
