Abromivic and Clinton on Satanic Claims

The Trump administration is really grasping at straws this time

Abromivic and Clinton on Satanic Claims

Just when this election couldn’t get any worse, America decides to drag the art world into it. Through the latest release of Wikileaks, Clinton advisor John Podesta’s brother (a prominent art collector) was found to have been invited by Marina Abromovic to a “Spirit Cooking dinner” at her home.

Multiple right-winged websites have been researching into Abromovic’s behaviors in the past, but in the past 48 hours they have been even more persistent than usual. Many people have found Abromovic’s performance piece from 1979, Pig’s Blood, and have been using that as “evidence” of her satanic tendencies.

If anyone knows contemporary art and performance, they could very easily claim bullshit on the right-wing, and far-fetched, claim that the Clinton administration and Marina Abromovic are involved in satanic rituals or beliefs. Honestly, at this point in the election it’s actually hilarious that an opponent would grasp at such straws because they have so little confidence in themselves and the message they hold for the American people.

“I’m outraged, because this is taken completely out of my context,” claims Abromivic. “Anybody who wants can read my memoirs and find out that [my work] is far away from Satanism,” she said. “My work is really more about spirituality and not anything else,” she continued. “I’ve been doing my work for so long, and this is a misunderstanding.” She said of the right-wing attacks, “It’s absolutely outrageous and ridiculous.”

All things considered, Abromovic and the Clinton administration have been keeping up a positive image and not letting the depressing satire of the situation get the best of them.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
