In my line of work, we often talk about the art of diplomacy as we try to make people’s lives a little better around the world. But, in fact, art is also a tool of diplomacy. It reaches beyond governments, past the conference rooms and presidential palaces, to help us connect with more people in more places. It is a universal language in our search for common ground, an expression of our shared humanity.
That’s why Art in Embassies is so important. The Museum of Modern Art first envisioned this global visual-arts program in 1953, and President John F. Kennedy formalized it at the U.S. Department of State in 1963. Working with over 20,000 participants globally, including artists, museums, collectors, and galleries, this landmark public-private partnership shares the work of more than 4,000 American and international artists annually in more than 200 U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world. These can be exhibitions, permanent collections, site-specific commissions, or two-way artist exchanges. Many remarkable artists have been involved with Art in Embassies, and this year we were proud to award the first biennial U.S. Department of State Medal of Arts to Cai Guo-Qiang, Jeff Koons, Shahzia Sikander, Kiki Smith, and Carrie Mae Weems.
Just think about what an exhibition of American and local artists means to someone across the world yearning to express herself or himself. Artists push boundaries and show what the human spirit is capable of, forming bonds of understanding with people they may never know. For over 50 years, Art in Embassies has showcased the best of this talent. I am grateful, as it promotes creativity, ignites collaboration, and builds on American diplomacy.

Performance art seems to frequently fit that mold.

Podesta’s ‘Our Gang’ kind of art, apparently.

Herself doesn’t respond to anything that doesn’t have seven or eight figures associated with it. and even then it takes double digit aide to actually write a 140 character response.
I have a relative who traveled to the Olympics one year, before the Iron Curtain fell - it must have been Sarajevo.
She went to an art gallery (she was someone who had gotten her degree in art and architecture) and said that it was one of the most depressing ‘art’ experiences of her life - no beauty, nothing uplifting, everything pedestrian, dull, dark. She also said that all of the natives she encountered seemed to be chain-smokers, and/or drunk.
There was no real *inspiration* in the lives of the people.
Wonder if the Ex Ulay might share with some reporters his experiences of the private events.
Career
Rhythm 10, 1973
In her first performance in Edinburgh 1973,[10] Abramovic explored elements of ritual and gesture. Making use of twenty knives and two tape recorders, the artist played the Russian game, in which rhythmic knife jabs are aimed between the splayed fingers of one's hand. Each time she cut herself, she would pick up a new knife from the row of twenty she had set up, and record the operation. After cutting herself twenty times, she replayed the tape, listened to the sounds, and tried to repeat the same movements, attempting to replicate the mistakes, merging past and present. She set out to explore the physical and mental limitations of the body – the pain and the sounds of the stabbing; the double sounds from the history and the replication. With this piece, Abramović began to consider the state of consciousness of the performer. "Once you enter into the performance state you can push your body to do things you absolutely could never normally do."[11]

SHE'S INSANE
Those are all chickens? I wonder how many poor village children they could have fed...
Thanks for posting. A glimpse inside the sick, twisted mind of a criminal...Hillaryous Rotten.
HOORAY Columbo
They put sick art in the embassies because that was part of the Soviets takeover. It is in the “naked communist.”
A pile of dog doo has more artistic significance than this sick crap Hillary supports.
Only one black? Michelle won’t be happy.
Looks like she’s been to the abattoir and picked up a truckload of bones and she’s scrubbing them with a wire brush.
She’s the one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.
Nelson Rockefeller was behind this.
Bizarro.
Love the disgusted lady at 1:05, though!
The owl and star has some interesting symbolism.
The owl is the mask or front for alien ETs (or demons if you prefer)....
This stuff just gets deeper and deeper.
