Yvonne Rainer Denounces Marina Abramovic's Planned MOCA Gala Performance as "Grotesque"
by Julia Halperin
Published: November 11, 2011
The Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art’s annual gala is one of the most highly anticipated events of the fall art season — previous editions have included such headliners as Lady Gaga and guests like Brangelina — and this year it may also be among the most controversial. The November 12 party, which boasts performance artist Marina Abromavic as creative director and musician Debbie Harry as an honoree, is already ruffling some feathers in the local art community. Renowned dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer has written a letter to MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch indicting Abramovic’s planned performance for the event, which she calls “grotesque” and “verg[ing] on economic exploitation.” Sent to the museum director yesterday evening, the complaint was also signed by a number of art figures including Douglas Crimp, Tom Knechtel, and Monica Majoli.
