Monopol magazine is giving away 5 × 2 tickets to Marina Abramović's exhibition "Balkan Erotic Epic" at the Gropius Bau in Berlin. The show, which opened in 2025, explores erotic energy through Balkan myths, rituals, and folklore, combining new video works with historical pieces from the 1970s onward, including installations, sculptures, and live performances.
The exhibition matters because it reframes Abramović's decades-long practice around the body's erotic and sexual energy as a collective, spiritual force rather than a private matter. It connects her early boundary-pushing performances with a focused thematic exploration of fertility rituals and the symbolic power of sexuality, offering a new lens on one of the most influential living performance artists.
