I don't know if I buy it that Marina Abramovic is the center of a cult, but I have to question the Podesta's taste in art AS A WHOLE. I believe people choose art for their homes based upon their view of the world, or as a touchstone of something that they enjoy or are moved by. She's an odd, odd choice as a favorite artist. And yes, she did cost Hillary the election. We could see in visual form a representation of her campaign manager's mind. Thanks for this post.
Shes related to Rasputin, so I'd hold off on her not being part of a cult. That particular bloodline was at the center of the South Korean upraising just a while ago. They also share in an affinity for blood. One that spans back hundreds of years. This is much bigger then anyone would dare to fathom. In my humble opinion that is. All her talk of energy and this fascination with the macbre and blood should be setting off some major red flags for anyone watching. We used to burn these types at the stake.
Thanks, blind-sypher. I have to agree. The more I thought about it, she's providing an "outlet" for certain people and she is normalizing certain things. What sort of person does she attract to her shows? Who is her "art" intended to lift and enliven? I won't even have a crucifix in my house, or a cross, because I don't like torture...and I was raised Catholic! So yes, no pass for Marina. No pass at all.

Obviously Lady Gaga and Tony Podesta are way in to it.
