I have written previously about the performance artist Marina Abramovic.
I was not aware of this, but she had a Kickstarter campaign going. She was trying to raise $600,000 for a “long durational” performance art center.
Well, she did it. She raised $661,452 from 4,765 backers.
And she’s promised every one of them (yes, even the $1 backers) a hug.
Marina will personally thank all those who contribute to the creation of MAI by hugging every backer of this Kickstarter at a live event called THE EMBRACE. This event will be held in two undisclosed locations, one in New York City and one in Europe, with exact dates and times to be announced. MAI Founders who are unable to attend these events will be offered a special reward in lieu of a hug from Marina.
And if you’ve ever wanted to see a performance artist tell a light bulb joke, go here.
