Marina Abramović Edition (prints and multiples)

In my work, all the transitory objects have one thing in common: they do not exist on their own; the public must interact with them . Some objects are there to empty the viewer, some to give energy, and some to make a mental departure possible.

The energy blanket is one of those objects which functions to give energy to the user. Marina Abramovic

Energy Blanket by Marina Abramovic for More Art is a functional art product that offers unique visual and practical stimuli for understanding Abramovic's concept of energy transference. The soft, white blanket features the artist's printed sketch of a radiant human form and includes magnets for contact with 14 of the body's energy points - vividly indicated in the sketch - so that the blanket may be used in conjunction with magnetic therapy. Magnetic therapy is a centuries -old wellness technique that is recognized and practiced around the world. Modern studies have shown that contact with static magnetic fields can increase blood flow. Improved circulation helps reduce pain and swelling and enables the body to perform its natural healing process.
