<P> Beginning on November 9, 2005, Abramović presented Seven Easy Pieces at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City . On seven consecutive nights for seven hours she recreated the works of five artists first performed in the' 60s and' 70s, in addition to re-performing her own Lips of Thomas and introducing a new performance on the last night . The performances were arduous, requiring both the physical and the mental concentration of the artist . Included in Abramović's performances were recreations of Gina Pane's Self - Portraits, which required lying on a bed frame suspended over a grid of lit candles, and of Vito Acconci's 1972 performance in which the artist masturbated under the floorboards of a gallery as visitors walked overhead . It is argued that Abramović re-performed these works as a series of homages to the past, though many of the performances were altered from their originals . </P> <P> Here is a full list of the works performed: </P> <Ul> <Li> Bruce Nauman's Body Pressure (1974) </Li> <Li> Vito Acconci's Seedbed (1972) </Li> <Li> Valie Export's Action Pants: Genital Panic (1969) </Li> <Li> Gina Pane's The Conditioning (1973) </Li> <Li> Joseph Beuys's How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare (1965) </Li> <Li> Abramović's own Lips of Thomas (1975) </Li> <Li> Abramović's own Entering the Other Side (2005) </Li> </Ul> <Li> Bruce Nauman's Body Pressure (1974) </Li>
