Ulay/Marina Abramović refers to the collaborative and performative artworks made during the years of the artists’ partnership between 1976 to 1980. Those made from 1981 to 1988 are credited as Marina Abramović/Ulay.

Marina Abramović is a Serbian conceptual and performance artist, philanthropist, writer, and filmmaker. Her work explores body art, endurance art and feminist art, the relationship between the performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind.
