The show will focus on her work in the 1970s, much of which has not been shown before. The exhibition’s title piece White Space, originally installed in the Student Cultural Centre in her hometown of Belgrade in 1972, has not been remade since its first showing. The show will also include two important sound pieces, previously unseen video documentation of seminal performances and a number of newly discovered photographs, all dating from 1971-1975.

Much of her work deals with time and the immaterial, what defines art and how we can experience higher plains, love and openness through art. While its clear Abramovich came up in the ranks alongside the feminist movement and fellow earth mothers such as Ana Mendietta, her work still bears a quiet power to still even the most cynical London minds. A great encore to shed some light on this fascinating artist. (Words: Laura Thornley)
