More Art introduces The Energy Blanket by Marina Abramovic
"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 whose function is
to give energy to the user." Marina Abramovic

The Energy Blanket will be available for sale March 2010 at the Museum of Modern Art in conjunction with Marina Abramovic's widely anticipated retrospective.
The Marina Abramovic Energy Blanket by More Art offers a soothing and inspiring experience—14 magnets are strategically placed to correspond to the human body’s energy meridians.
Magnetic energy and therapy are centuries old. The magnet creates a magnetic field that energizes and oxygenates the blood. These magnets attract iron-rich blood – human cells also contain iron – and the charged ion particles in the blood are moved, creating heat. This constant heat helps increase blood flow, which in turn helps ease pain and enable the body to perform its natural healing process.
Magnetic therapy has long been used as an effective healing tool in China, India and Japan, and it is said that Cleopatra wore magnetic bracelets and necklaces for their healing powers. In Japan, magnetic therapy is officially recognized by the Ministry of Health; all across the East, magnets are commonly prescribed. Some 140 million people the world over use magnetic therapy to relieve pain, improve circulation, reduce swelling, minimize stiffness, and increase overall health and wellness.

The Chelsea Project showcases a series of unique public installations in Chelsea that are designed to enliven the area and involve its residents. The works are inspired by the neighborhood’s past and present, as well as its future prospects. In particular, they examine the complex, heterogeneous architectural history and the diverse social and economic conditions of the neighborhood.
The aim of the Chelsea Project is to foster a connection between the Chelsea art gallery district and its neighboring residential communities by allowing residents to see their neighborhood in a new light and discover treasures that had previously been neglected or overlooked.
