THE ART OF SILENCE

I would have given anything to find myself at Marina Abramovic‘s party at Sundance in honor of the documentary “Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present.”  She asked that all guests wear white lab coats and noise canceling headphones while not speaking for an hour. Pretty wild isn’t it?

Abramovic is known for making waves in bold and unexpected ways. I was one of the thousands who stood in line at the MOMA this past spring, hoping for a chance to sit across from her. Abramovic gave her full attention to each person and stared at them for as long as they wished in complete silence. It was a magnificent sight and it left me with a deeper understanding of what it is to be fully seen by another human…you know without all of those other distractions we all seem to be so fond of.

Reading about her party online, I understand that Abramovic left some attendees quite unsettled while others very appreciative of having a chance to connect with another in an unusual yet so simple way. I found myself thinking about Abramovic last week as I joined  a group of headphone wearing music lovers for a night out on the town. Behold….The Amazing Silent Disco - a roaming dance party where everyone was listening to the same DJ music.

We took to the streets, the subways and the bars, all the while dancing and grinning ear to ear. We got many stares everywhere we went as most people had no idea what was going on. All they could see is us dancing to….nothing? It was a fun way to share a special moment alone yet together. I wonder if Abramovic would approve.
