Marina Abramović method drinking glass

If you’re committing to incorporating The Abramović Method into your own life, this drinking glass designed in collaboration with The Marina Abramović Institution is an excellent physical aid for the ‘drinking water’ practice.

The Abramović Method began as a series of daily mindfulness tasks that the artist uses to prepare herself for long-duration performance art pieces, and has become a continuous project in which everyone is invited to take part, connecting us as individuals through a communal daily experience.

The instructions printed on the glass tumbler are:

With your hands, hold a glass of pure water.
Wait and look at the water.
In slow motion, bring the glass to your lips.
Drink in small sips as long as you can.
Put the glass down and repeat this activity throughout the day for a minimum of 21 times.

About the artist

Marina Abramović (b. 1946) is a Serbian conceptual and performance artist, philanthropist, writer, and filmmaker. Describing herself as ‘the grandmother of performance art’, for over four decades her work has explored body art, endurance art and feminist art, the relationship between the performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind. In 2007, she founded the Marina Abramović Institute (MAI), a non-profit foundation for performance art. Her works are held in collections globally, with her 1974 piece, Rhythm 0 forming part of Tate’s collection.
