Oleg Borisovich Kulik ((ロシア語:Оле́г Бори́сович Кули́к); born 1961 in Kiev〔(Oleg Kulik ) on gif.ru〕〔(Kulik, Oleg ) on tvgallery.ru〕) is a Russian performance artist of Ukrainian ethnicity, sculptor, photographer and curator. Kulik was born in Kiev, graduated from Kiev Art School (1979) and Kiev Geological Survey College (1982), and was awarded a scholarship by the Berlin Senate in 1996. He lives and works in Moscow.〔〔 ==Performances== For his performances, Kulik creates a symbolic set of parameters to define the environment which he will inhabit in the persona of a dog, and then devises a series of actions that unfold as a response. The artist describes the dialogue within his practice as "a conscious falling out of the human horizon" which places him on hands and knees. His intention is to describe what he sees as a crisis of contemporary culture, a result of an overly refined cultural language which creates barriers between individuals. Thus, he simplifies his performance language to half of the basic emotional vocabulary of a domestic animal. A recent retrospective of Kulik's work was "Oleg Kulik: Chronicle. 1987–2007" at the Central House of Artists, Moscow. It was exhibited at Rencontres d'Arles festival, France in 2004. As curator of the Regina Gallery, Kulik became known for his unorthodox approaches such as putting paintings on wheels and hiring people to carry the artworks.〔Valentin Diaconov, ("Oleg Kulik" ), ''Modern Painters'', November 2009.〕 Kulik considers his best curatorial endeavor to be "Leopards Bursting into a Temple" by Anatoly Osmolovsky in 1992. In this exhibit, two naked people were put into a cell with live leopards walking around them. He had said that he thought the exhibition was a "metaphor for everything new and lively that appears in our life".〔 In 2009, Kulik curated the "Kandinsky Prize in London" at the Louise Blouin Foundation.〔 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「Oleg Kulik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
