Current Preoccupation - STUDIO FOR MARINA ABRAMOVIC

First Studio porject of the year is always very conceptual and "creative". This year is the same, we are baing asked to create a studio space for a NON-visual artist. 
 chose Marina Abramovic as my inspiration for a whole bunch of reasons. 
But all you really need to know is that she is a performing artist, most active in the 70's, Serbian, very provacative in her work, and interested in the limitations of the body and mind. Basically she's hard-core. (In my mind I imagine her as  a grizzly bear, haha)



Here is a promo/trailer for "The Artist is Present" one of her more recent performances:




Here is a video of a movie/experiment/training she leads:



NOW, coming back to my project, these are some ideas/progress sketches/concept designs for the studio I'm creating for her:
Well, that's it for now. Gonna get started on the next step. Editing, re-working the design and all that.
