Iconic 'performance artist' quotes Leonard

[Andrew (Darby)]

I saw a documentary tonight on Marina Abramovic, who has been described as the "grandmother of performance art" and I then went hunting for more information about her and her performance at MOMA (New York) in 2010, entitled "The Artist is Present" (see here: http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/965).

I then came across this little video where she describes her art and the significance of the MOMA piece for her at that career stage. In it she she quotes one of Leonard's gems about the "third act" of life. It's worth watching the whole 2:15 minutes to get the context, but the Leonard quote is at the 1:35 minute mark.

Cheers,
