Meeting Marina Abramović

JOHN GOW

My memory of the hug will last longer than the photo I might have taken, which would have become buried somewhere on my computer.

Meeting Marina Abramović

After counting rice we were introduced to Marina by John Kaldor. I asked her if I could take a photo of her, and she said, “No, but you can give me a hug.”

My memory of the hug will last longer than the photo I might have taken, which would have become buried somewhere on my computer. Congratulations, John Kaldor… your contribution to public art is enormous!

– John Gow
