There's an article about Marina Abramovic in today's online edition of
The Guardian, and guess what?
They mention Pizzagate! ;-)
While her own performance work is linked with shamanistic rituals, the far right have misunderstood her art as Satanism.
Her work surfaced during the Pizzagate scandal of 2016, where one of Abramovic’s emails to Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta (brother of Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta) refers to a “Spirit Cooking,” which is the name of an artwork she made in 1996. It was assumed to be an occult ritual.
“People can so easily put labels, we are afraid of everything,” she said. “I talk openly on every single subject in my work, it’s very important to understand it and put it in the right context.”

But it doesn't stop there:
They also link to an opinion piece by The Guardian's art critic written in November 2016 (who some time ago argued in favour of a painting of Balthus, creator of pedophile art, at the MoMa: 'Arguing over art is right but trying to ban it is the work of fascists.').
'Marina Abramovic: the latest target in the rightwing culture wars'
(I'm always rolling on the floor when I read that Pizzagate is solely a rightwing investigation....)
...an accusation that artist Marina Abramović has been schooling senior Democrats in black magic is almost a welcome bit of light relief.
How did avant-garde art star Abramović get involved in America’s most corrosive election season?
Her name appears in the emails of John Podesta, chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, which have been released by WikiLeaks. In one of the messages, she invites Podesta’s art-collector brother, Tony, to “a spirit cooking dinner at my place” and says John would be welcome, too.
...this story about art, satanism and conspiracy theories is just another window on what has gone wrong with democracy.
When you define those who disagree with you not just as political opponents but satanic acolytes of darkness, you are committed to a politics of unreason, intolerance and hate.

Summary:
1) It's really only art, honestly! :-)
2) Everyone who discusses Satanism in the art world is a right-wing nutbag
My two cents: Art imitates life.

An interesting comment left on a YT video concerning pizzagate about Marina Abramovic's status as a high priestess. Scary stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItLySzykWyo
Here is the comment copied and pasted:
Who is Marina Abramovic: I'm a minister and missionary to Africa. I have nothing to do with deep state or conspiracy theories. ......But I do have some knowledge concerning this person. ............I've ministered to former Child Abuse victims. One was raised in a Satanist Family and was ritually abused in the worst ways. His Uncle/ caretaker was a high ranking Satanic High Priest. ................This man was also raised to become a High Priest. .......He was raped from 3 years old and tortured. His worst memories were watching other Children being abused, tortured, and murdered. ..........He eventually renounced Satanism - and threatened with death and myriad curses. God protected him and he has become a Christian minister. ........He knew nothing of Pizzagate scandals. ...........But when I asked if he knew Mariana Abramovic- he knew who she was immediately. ........This man had met Anton Lavey (Who wrote the Satanic Bible and led the Worldwide Satanic Church - Hotel California) and knew the higher ups. .........He says she is a Ninth Circle Satanist High Priest. ...............(This is the same woman Hillary invited to the White House to call up spirits of the dead while the Clintons were in office. .................'Ninth Circle' refers to a concept from Dante's Inferno - The Nine Circles of Hell. The ninth is the worst part of hell where Satan supposedly dwells. Dante's story is myth - not spiritual truth. According to Ephesians Chapter 2, Satan is the Prince of the Power of the air - Mid-Heaven or the Atmosphere. ...........A Ninth Circle Satanist HAS TO commit the worst abominations in order to achieve that degree, including murder and cannibalism. .............My guess is that her art is meant to desensitize the world to these practices. ............Now look at the people she is friends with. .......I'm not saying they are Satanists. She could be using them without their knowing. She pawns herself off as many things - and they may not know her true rank ..........But the adage is often true, "Show me a person's five best friends, and I will tell you who they are." Wisdom tells us that as well. Bad company corrupts morals - Solomon.

It is true indeed. Thank you very much for your comment!

You're welcome! I read this comment and felt the need to post up next time I saw a thread on Abramovic. I got the chills as I read it as I believe the commenter is genuine.

Yes, that's what I felt as well.

Right, her twitter handle included "666", she explicitly uses upside down pentagrams (the defacto symbol of left hand path - black magic) in her "Art" (Read: Rituals when performed in a private setting, her words). She follows Aleister Crowley, an avowed Black Magician who styled himself as "The Beast 666", the Antichrist, who himself wrote of sacrificing children. She has been filmed, photographed seemingly abducting a shirtless male child (A Crowley Favorite, according to his writings), while covered in and biting snakes, cutting pentagrams into herself and simulating cannibalism with people pretending to be corpses. Oh, and she's in her 70s but she could easily pass for 35 or younger due to rumored consumption of Adrenalchrome. Uh huh, yeah, she's not a Luciferian at all.

Great comment, thank you! :-)

the study of shamanism is a worthwhile discipline-what this freak does is use "art" as a cover for nefarious activities going in in the highest places, shamanism typically doesn't involve cannibalism and what we today would associate with satanism

Agree, the whole point about shamanism is healing people, not destroying them.

I honestly think Abramovic's Spirit Cooking parties cost Hillary the election.

When celebs and high powerful people want to stare at marina and call it art because she sits there and looms at you is concerning. She paints with sperm and blood and calls pain art. She is a witch str8 up. A bloodsucker and a hag. All the symbolisms of her covering children eyes in her magazines speaks for itself. I hear her on cbc on a stupid show hosted by a gay guy called Q. She was talking about art as pain and pain is art. Shes a cow, she will burn like a witch and scream like one. The spirits of the victems will devour her soul to torment. Fuck this dumb bitch, time to bring the sclaping knives and ol skool indian justice...

I'm quite sure she is indeed a high priestress / witch in her circle. A sad example of a tortured child (no excuses here, though) who decided at a certain point that she would be the one who would control others in the future. This is the key to her art: controlling herself and others.

I did not know Marina has a IMDb page. I stumbled onto it by accident. I had recently seen a movie with Willem Dafoe and was curious about some of his work, so I looked up some things about him. I saw an article on him stating he is up for an Oscar, and saw his wife is a director, so I looked her up on IMDb. Her name is Giada Colagrande. She has done three projects with Marina. The main reason I replied to your comment is one of Giada's movies (The Woman Dress) plot involves a coven of witches.

Thank you, I will look into Giada's movies! :-)

Forgot to add Marina's IMDb. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0009127/?ref_=tt_cl_t1

Exactly! :-)

Bonus info: Abramovic will have a solo show at the Royal Academy of Art in London in 2020.

How weird and twisted.
“...is just another window on what has gone wrong with democracy.”
So, because we thought for ourselves and reached a conclusion that here art snobs don’t like that means that its time take democracy away. Aaah. Poor sheople. What are we gonna do?
Take it. Democracy is just smoke and mirrors anyway. (I am speaking half in jest/sarcasm).
think- ago
....says the guy who wrote that it would be fascist if the MoMa would put a Balthus painting in the basement which shows a young girl spreading her legs....
Summary: Pedophile art is acceptable in a democracy. Criticising pedophile and satanic art is fascism.

Those poor satanists. ...reaping what they sow... SO unfair (sarcasm).

Marina Abramovic is a tranny. MTF. Look up Baphomet. This is what they aspire to be.

Notice that she praises the Dalai Lama in today's article....(head of Tibetan Buddhism which has a sinister sex magick left-hand path) and who - with the best intentions of course cough - got $ 1,000,000 for speaking at a NXUM event.
NXUM is the Hollywood cult for women who have to hand over nude pictures when they become members (so they can get blackmailed), and who get branded (literally). Also, the cult leader has connections to Scientology.
The Dalai Lama also happened to be on friendly terms with Balthus, creator of pedophile art, and visited him in his house in Switzerland. Balthus created a label for Phillipine de Rothschild's wine, depicting a little naked girl.
