Rumours abound that the queen of endurance Marina Abramovic will get a retrospective at the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) in London. According to the Guardian, the blockbuster show is planned for 2020. A Royal Academy spokeswoman says that “the RA is involved in conversations with Marina Abramovic and will announce further information in due course.” Earlier this year, the grande dame of performance told us that she hopes to premiere her video tribute to the opera singer Maria Callas, Seven Deaths, at the RA. Seven Deaths is “based on the idea that Maria Callas died of a broken heart”, the artist said. In a series of seven ten-minute videos, Abramovic will perform the death scenes of seven tragic heroines embodied by the soprano, including Madame Butterfly.
