"Astral Weeks" If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dream Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again From the far side of the ocean If I put the wheels in motion And I stand with my arms behind me And I'm pushin' on the door Could you find me? Would you kiss-a my eyes? To lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again There you go Standin' with the look of avarice Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter Showin' pictures on the wall Whisperin' in the hall And pointin' a finger at me There you go, there you go Standin' in the sun darlin' With your arms behind you And your eyes before There you go Takin' good care of your boy Seein' that he's got clean clothes Puttin' on his little red shoes I see you know he's got clean clothes A-puttin' on his little red shoes A-pointin' a finger at me And here I am Standing in your sad arrest Trying to do my very best Lookin' straight at you Comin' through, darlin' Yeah, yeah, yeah If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dreams Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop Could you find me Would you kiss-a my eyes Lay me down In silence easy To be born again To be born again To be born again In another world In another world In another time Got a home on high Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world I'm nothing but a stranger in this world I got a home on high In another land So far away So far away Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven In another time In another place In another time In another place Way up in the heaven Way up in the heaven We are goin' up to heaven We are goin' to heaven In another time In another place In another time In another place In another face

Marina Abramović y Ulay - MoMA 2010



Marina Abramovic se define a ella misma como la abuela del performance. [BIO]: Artista serbia que comenzó su carrera en los años 70. Poco después se mudó a Amsterdam y allí conoció a Ulay, con el que creó el colectivo 'The other'. Juntos comenzaron a despertar conciencias y levantar ampollas con curiosas acciones. Tras una intensa relación de diez años la pareja puso punto y final al amor de la siguiente manera: caminaron por la gran muralla china, cada uno por un extremo, se encontraron en un punto intermedio y se dieron un abrazo para no volver a verse nunca más..

2010, Nueva York - Marina organiza una performance en el MoMa llamada 'El artista está presente'. Sentada, cabizbaja y en silencio. Una mesa la separa del visitante. En cada encuentro Marina levanta la vista para mirarle directamente a los ojos durante un minuto.
Lo que no esperaba es que uno de los que se sentaron frente a ella fuera su ex pareja Ulay al que no veía desde hacía 23 años. El que fue amor de su vida, estaba allí sentado, en silencio, mirándola.
