【行動x藝術】藝壇巨星殞落！追憶愛的70年代，前衛藝術大師《Ulay 》一生為愛追逐｜TDRwatch

世界上有種愛情叫做：「Ulay 」x「Marina Abramovic」
行動藝術家Ulay 這顆巨星殞落，不敵長年病魔所擾，於3月2日病逝，享年76 歲。此報導消息一出，震憾全球國際藝壇界。提及行動藝術家Ulay 過往經典作品，回顧Ulay 創作生涯，昔日愛侶身兼夥伴Marina Abramovic佔據相當關鍵地位；兩人同為藝術創作者，因愛而相戀、創作，更甚攜手合作驚人之作：經典作品1977 年《Breathing in/breathing out》，以愛為名挑戰人體最大極限，藉由兩人口對口的呼吸方式，過程使用香菸濾嘴塞入鼻腔持續不間斷20分鐘，最後吸入過多尼古丁造成兩人昏厥。打破眾人對藝術想像設限，對他們而言，愛情如同為呼吸般重要存在於日常生活養份。

因愛相識，由恨分開：Ulay 世紀愛的大和解展覽
Ulay 與Marina Abramovic，兩人愛的濃烈，就連分手結局也是不歡而散。2010 年，Marina Abramovic 於紐約博物館 MoMA 發表新展覽《The Artist Is Present》之際，當天Ulay 走進展覽現場坐下，透過兩人對視對方的眼神傳達，從頭到尾現場感受彼此交會感情；在這一瞬間，Marina Abramovic 再也止不住臉龐上淚水，他們真心放下過去情愛糾葛。面對Ulay 離世，Marina Abramovic 隨即在網路發表追悼Ulay ，這份專屬蘊藏內心深處情感。

It is with our immense sadness that we write to inform you of the passing of one of the greatest artists of our time, the pioneer of polaroid photography, the father of performance art, the most radical, the one and only, ULAY, who has left for another journey, yesterday, peacefully in his sleep (November 30, 1943-March 2, 2020). • ULAY was incomparable. As a human being and as an artist. The gentlest soul, a giver. A pioneer, a provocateur, an activist, a mentor, a colleague, a friend, a father, a husband, family. A seeker of light. A lover of life. A traveler. A fighter. A brilliant thinker, who has been pushing limits and enduring pain. Selfless and fearless, ethical, elegant, witty. He, who has influenced so many. • “One can learn many things in life, but not art. The madness you need – the must which is shaking you all the time. You are an artist even when you are asleep. Because of the must." • He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, the art community and the thousands of us, who he has so deeply touched and inspired. He influenced generations of artists and many more to come – his memory and legacy will live on forever through his work and the work of the ULAY Foundation. • "Everyone gets somewhere. It’s not just me. Everyone eventually gets somewhere. Death is the ultimate answer. But life is absolute." • "As ever…", as he would say. "So lovely….as ever." • © Photo by Primož Korošec / @primoz.korosec
