[Untitled]
Solo performances in the early 1970's "Rhythms"

Shout until she was completely hoarse. Dance until she collapsed. Buffeted by a wind machine until she passed out.

Rhythm 5 (1974)  She lay down in the center of a fire until she passed out from lack of oxygen and had to be rescued. 

Rhythm 0 (1974 )

<P>Stood in the space of the Studio Mona Gallery in Naples next to a table holding 72 objects. Tools, scissors, a loaded gun.</P>

<P>Performance had to stop because after the visitors had cut off all her clothing, she was also required to place the barrel of the gun into her open mouth. </P>

<P>Visitors were invited to use them and her as they saw fit. </P>

Rhythm 2
The section on Rhythm 2 in this revision that has been reverted twice now, has the order of the medications correct.

According to this source:

"she first took a drug usually given to catatonic patients to make them move, then, after the effects of that had worn off, a drug given to schizophrenic patients to calm them down"

Order of the People's Heroes
The article says: "After the war, Abramović's parents were awarded Order of the People's Heroes."

In German Wikipedia, this claim is doubted as follows: "Abramović's brother Velimir who lives in Belgrad said multiple times in interviews that his sister has made up this story about their father being a national hero because she likes to see him that way." (source)

Can anybody with greater expertise than me check this info please?
