Marina Abramovic’s 2010 MoMA performance The Artist is Present garnered worldwide attention, both positive and negative. In "The Museum of Modern Love", Heather Rose has crafted a novel around the performance, and it is a strangely compelling one. Performance art isn't really my thing and I admit that before starting this book I might have been inclined to roll my eyes a bit at it, plus I found the main character, Arky, pretty unsympathetic. And yet I thought the novel fascinating and may now need to revise my ideas about performance art. I loved the plethora of strong female characters and the sharp observations about the art world and modern day society.
