From November 19, 2026, to February 17, 2027, the LED wall at Palazzo Citterio in Milan will host “Marina Abramović Element,” a project dedicated to Marina Abramović’s digital performances, organized by the MNAD—National Museum of Digital Art—with the support of TAEX Gallery. Curated by Clelia Patella, the initiative brings a new interpretation of the artist’s work—developed through digital technologies—into the public space.

For over fifty years, Abramović has explored the relationship between the body, presence, and perception through actions that have helped redefine the language of performance art. Her works are based on gestures and images that, transcending the temporal dimension of live performance, continue to take root in the collective memory. With *Marina Abramović Element*, this exploration engages with the possibilities offered by digital tools and with new ways of conveying the performative experience.

At the heart of the project is the artist’s avatar, conceived as a digital twin and used as a vehicle for the performative gesture. This figure allows Abramović’s practice to transcend the physical limits of the body and to experiment with new forms of presence and engagement with the audience. Technology thus becomes a tool for further exploring the boundaries of performance and the possibilities for preserving and transforming artistic action.

The project debuted with ART, a series dedicated to the symbolism that runs through the artist’s body of work. The new phase, titled METHOD, presents a body of work inspired by the Abramović Method, a practice developed by the performer and forming the basis of the Marina Abramović Institute’s activities.

Through this new language, Marina Abramović Element continues the artist’s exploration of the relationship between body and consciousness and the conditions that define the performative experience. The use of a digital alter ego opens up a perspective on the possibility that the artistic gesture can continue to exist and establish a relationship with viewers even beyond the artist’s physical presence.
