Andrei Molodkin (born 1966) is a Russian conceptual artist. ==Life and career== Molodkin was born in Boui, north of Moscow, in 1966. Both of his parents taught at the university and he went to art school at the age of 12 and was first inspired by tattoos, which at the time were illegal in Russia. Molodkin later claimed that 'the only freedom you have is what you can write on your body'. Molodkin later served in the Russian Army, where he worked in Siberia delivering oil.〔http://www.orelart.com/London/Project-82-Liquid_Modernity〕 He would also use his army-issue ballpoint pens to draw and, whilst in the Army, he would eat bread smeared in oil and dried on a radiator instead of taking drugs.〔 His work explores the conflict between culture, religion, economy and politics, using recognizable religious images and cultural iconography as his subject matter. Molodkin believes that the oil industry is "the flesh and blood of Western economy" and he comments on how a national resource can become a national identity. His most recent project has been his attempt to make oil from human corpses with a giant pressure cooker.〔 His exhibition "Direct From The Pipe" was presented at ANNE+ Art Projects, Ivry sur Seine,France 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ANNE+ ART PROJECTS )〕 "Sweet Crude American Dream" was presented at Daneyal Mahmood Gallery, NY. (Andre Molodkin ), and "Guts à la Russe" at Orel Art Gallery, Paris, in April–May 2008 (Orel Art ) He currently lives and works between Paris and Moscow. His works are held in private collections in the State Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg, the Freud Museum in Saint Petersburg and in the collection of the Schusev State Museum of Architecture, Moscow. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrei Molodkin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
