This documentary is an excellent introduction to performance art. It walks students through the development and actual performance of Marina Abramović's piece, Artist is Present, at the MOMA. The piece itself deals with the question of performance Abramović does a good job of describing her considerations and the complexity of the work.
Given the artist and the genre, the film contains nudity.
