Promotion "Mento Pop"! Art Anarcho Punk Group War - Dangerous provocateurs collaborating with the authorities. Art Group "War" Surname Leader Art Group War

Dmitry Volchek, Observer "Radio Liberty", met with the emigrated Oleg collar (thief) - the leader of the Greshivs five years ago the art group "War"

The last Russian action of the Art Group "War" with the participation of Oleg Votlinov, Natalia Sokol, Leonid Nikolaev and anonymous activists took place on December 31, 2011. No one could have thought that "Mento-auto-da-FE" will become their last statement for many years and the last action performed in the classical composition.

At one time, the progressive youth of two capitals followed the radical shares of the art group with amazement, at a minimum. This was satisfied with the commemoration of Dmitry Segive with a feast in the subway, the entrance to the restaurant "Okrichnik" was brewed by the "iron curtain", "stormed" the white house with a laser graphics, organized a mileage with blue buckets on the head on the roof of the FSO machine, and finally painted 70- Member Member on a divorced casting bridge in St. Petersburg. For this and other shares they received several months of imprisonment and the state award "Innovation". The rollers of art and political shares with the participation of the thief, goats, laziness of a nutty and several anonymous activists for five to six years ago "exploded" the Internet. They were perhaps the most desirable information "prohibitory", the symbol of the reckless protest against the consumers and non-free in those times, when two capitals seemed to be able to blow the air.

Then something went wrong. And to be honest, everything went wrong.

In approximately 2010, the main "instratchors" of the artistic disorder firmly pressed the authorities in the criminal line. Several months of collars-thief and Nikolev-Chokutnaya spent in prison. The leaders of activists issued in 2011 under a small monetary departure were hidden and were wanted. In 2010, Alexey Plser-Sarno, Ruor "Wars" on the Internet, co-author and chronicler, left somewhere in the Baltic States. After some time, it became known that the collars with his wife and two children also illegally moved to the West to Europe. The same rumors went about the most awkward activist of the group Løn-Choknut. But they were lies. It turned out this under the saddest circumstances. Lenya, who has repeatedly twisted the fate of the mustache, died as a result of a domestic accident. On September 22, 2015, Leonid Nikolaev fell from height and later died in the hospital from the injuries. It turned out that several years he lived on an illegal position in the Domodedovo area and prepared a new radical action - perhaps the smallest of the "war".

About the Votorov and Falcon with children after their emigration there was little heard in the context of jointlying art. In Europe, the family moved from place to place. Strange reports about their skirmishes and fights with local anarchists and neformals came out periodically. Then rumors were reached that collars and falcon with children moved to Switzerland at the invitation of Edrian Notz, familiar to our readers of the director of Dadiasis "Kabare Voltaire" (also, by the way, one of the favorite places of Lenin). But otherwise only rumors, little details.

And the other day on the "Radio Liberty" website published the article Dmitry Volcheki "Five years without a" war ". The author managed to meet (where, it is directly not said, but most likely in Switzerland) with Oleg Collars and his wife Natalia Sokol. An interview thief refused, but the conversation took place. And his retelling, sometimes with quotes, recorded the wolf. The text is permeated with sympathy to the art rebel of the past, but in general the information is not fun.

The text of the Volcheka for obvious reasons is abounding in disabilities, so briefly retells as I understood. In Europe, the guys also drove into the angle. They pressed the children again (now three, the third daughter, Trinity, was born in Switzerland). In a migration prison, they set up in front of the choice: or they go to the refugee camp and ask for political asylum, or they can be separated from children and deported along Interpol line. They did not want political asylum, but they did not choose from anything. In the text of the Volcken, the words Votorova are given: "... and we succumbed to the shelter ... We were taken to the camp, issued documents and literally left to lie on the floor in the passage. We were told that this is the best camp for families with children. "

In the words of collars it is hard to separate sincere statements from the booty, for this you need to know it personally. But the author of the article confirms that the collars who perceived as an irreconcilable opponent of the authorities really became a supporter of Putin, positively assesses the role of Volodin (which is already beginning to call a possible successor), admired by the foreign policy actions of Lavrov. About Liberals is expressed rather with contempt.

Unlike political, artistic processes within Russia, collars look extremely skeptical. Pavlensky - "Secondary, shameful." In general, nothing interesting in Russia, except "Endjoykin" (makes funny videos on YouTube) well done. Authority for the Votorov still does not exist, and at the global level too. Even a banxi that listed the "war" money is, he said, "Malyara, are doing everything for money."

Such is a strange metamorphosis. True, in her truth I'm not fully confident. Is it worth perceiving all the words of the artist for a clean coin? Or is it nonconformism, brought to the limit that turned into merciless to colleagues, friends and sympathizer. No answer.

In the West, collars obviously also disappointed, does not want to integrate into local artistic life. Thank you at home, wants to return. Position is: "I basically refuse to arrange shares here, participate in artistic life. You can criticize Russia only from the inside, and not sitting in the West ... We are not emigrants, not refugees, it was not a gesture, like our acquaintances. We arrived for a while, and then the return channel slammed ... "

Like this. That in Russia they were waiting for their prison and the risk of depriving parental rights, which in the West is the same.

In general, once again confirms the idea that coercion to emigration remains one of the most sophisticated and effective ways of violence over the "soil" artist. Especially on non-conformist. And especially over the shareholder. A rupture with a country that provides the author of the art context and habitat, firmly knocked out of the saddle. A difficult informational exchange between the artist and its audience complicates the situation even more. In the Western, similar to that, in which the Avdaei Ter-cite was previously driven and, now he was and "war". But these guys are special. I believe that come up with how to get out. And I wish you good luck.

We continue the heading "Post from the Past": the art group "War" conducted its first share on May 1, 2007. Then activists threw the capital McDonalds cats. After that, the most radical Moscow art group committed an orgy at the Zoological Museum in honor of the election by President Dmitry Medvedev, hung migrant workers and gays in honor of the mayor of the capital Yuri Luzhkov, "captured" the White House and satisfied the poet to the metro station. In 2010, the "War" glorified the activist of Lenya Nikolaev, with a blue bucket on his head climbed by the Kremlin on the roof of a car with flasher. And on the night of June 14, activists drew white paint on the foundry bridge a huge dick. When the bridge was spread out, it turned out that this art object looks directly to the building of the FSB.

With horror describes his impressions of life in Europe who escaped from Russia liberal activist Andrei Sokolov

Several years ago, Oleg Collars, who was scandalous before in Russia, under the nickname, "Thief", the leader of no less scandalous art group "War" with curses left our country, declaring that he was saved from the dictatorial and repressive regime. But now, waking up on the expanses of "civilized Europe", he was horrified, and announced that he was a "fan of Putin", and in Europe feels like in the hell. "

In such an incredible, it seemed, the Pirouut, of course, is difficult to believe. And because his former liberal friends, having heard about what their former idol now broadcasts, went to Europe in the hope of prove that it is just "Putin's propaganda". And suddenly - about a miracle! It turned out that all this is actually the purest water of the truth. Some Dmitry Volchek published a report on the American "radio station" a report on a meeting with collars, and such that the question involuntarily suggests, and His "Putin's propagandists" has been recruited?

With phallus on the bridge

But let's start in order. At first, the wolf with undisguised sympathy describes the old, cute to its liberal heart, the scandalous acts of the Art Group "War", which became most famous for the image at the giant phallus bridge divided in St. Petersburg. For this, they were raised to the shield with a liberal press and crowned with numerous prizes.

"The last action of the Art Group" War "took place on December 31, 2011," Wolchek writes, "a policeman was cleverly burned in St. Petersburg on New Year's Eve in St. Petersburg. For the "Mento-auto-da-FE" "War" received from fans award "Russian activist art", and from the state - a criminal case under Article 213 ("hooliganism"). After that, Oleg Collars and his wife Natalia Sokol (on the nicknamed goat) crossed the border and found themselves in Europe, where their life was not in the best way: tedious information about scandals, detentions, beatings and other incidents can be found on the group's website.

"Campaign in support of incorrept, organized by the philologist Alexei Plider-Sarno, calling himself" the media artist "War" - continues the Hanging Wolf, - passed in Europe, America and even in the Philippines. I myself participated in one of the stocks when a huge portrait Oleg Votorova with the inscription Voina Wanted hung on Charles Bridge in Prague. When the same poster was postned on the Tower Bridge, the London Police intervened, and in Bucharest defenders Oleg Votorov and broke and detained.

In 2014, there were reports that the collars supported the seizure of the Crimea and became a supporter of Putin. It was difficult for me to believe it: how could such a metamorphosis occur with the city "partisan"?

He invented the shares, raising Putinism to Laughter, - in the role of Mentopopa went to the supermarket, painted a huge dick on the divorce bridge opposite the building of the UFSB in St. Petersburg, turned the police cars, projected the skull with bones on the building of the Russian government and sat for it in prison. "

The annoyed wolf went "to Europe", as can be seen, with an enrollmental purpose of exposing in vain, which is asked on his liberal idol. "And now," he writes, "in one of the European cities I meet with Oleg and his wife. They have three children, younger sleep, the eldest - Casper, whom I remember the baby, grew up and would have to go to school. But where will they take it? Parents on an illegal position, they have no documents and all the more medical insurance, and the daughter named Mom, born in St. Petersburg, when her parents hid from arrest, not registered at all. When the goat went to women's advice on the examination, she was identified by the doctors and wanted to call the police, as if repeating the story of the series about Stirlitz. The goat ran away and prudently gave birth to at home without attracting rebukes.

Oleg immediately warns that he will not give me an interview, because it does not want to deal with the "liberal" media. Yes, everything turned out to be true, - with amazement spread with the hands of a wolf, - now "Putinist". And not just a supporter of the capture of Crimea: Oleg believes that Putin "delightfully completed the work on the salvation of Russian statehood," Vyacheslav Volodin - "Brilliant Head," Sergey Lavrov is an outstanding diplomat who knows how to win in the enemy environment, "The Law of Dima Yakovlev" is fair and In general, "there is nothing more than folk unity" ... He is sure that Western propaganda is worse than the Russian, since the taxi driver in Europe can say that he likes Putin, and the intellectual is afraid.

"Good Russian propaganda is the ray of the sun on the last page of the" Pioneer truth "in July Day," says Oleg, and I suspect that this is a quote from Prokhanov article.

Nothing worse than Switzerland he did not see

After spending a few years in Europe (and he visited many cities - Venice, Rome, Zurich, Basel, Vienna, and even in Czech Krumlov, where a hundred years ago, Oleg denouncedly), Oleg was disappointed unconditionally in the West. "I spent the years of my life and did not find anything interesting." People here are intimidated by the system, make a "positive bid on hypocrisy", the left movement is helpless and there is no art. He does not like Switzerland: "I have not seen anything worse than this country" ... all this conflict with squatters, which Oleg described in an interview site Furfur:

"We managed to capture the slaughter, but when they stated to the police, they snapped the camera from the hands and hid. Then we visited the human rights organization, which helps victims of violence. Granted a lawyer for four hours - they are ready to pay for a lawyer, and they are expensive here. In migration In prison I had a conversation with the police, they drew two opportunities: either to the camp and ask the political tubing, or they will be separated from the children and separately deported to their homeland as illegal immigrants. Plus, in my case, at the request of Interpol. The usual manipulation of children began, and we We succumb to asylum. We are not immigrants, not refugees, it was not a gesture, like our acquaintances. We arrived at the time, and then the return channel slammed. Traditionally, the Swiss authorities urge to leave the country to a certain date. If not, repressive mechanisms are included. Us Delivered to the camp, issued documents and literally left to lie on the floor in the passage. We were told that this is the best camp for families with children. "

Oleg refugee camp describes how Hell underground, to the death of the intransigent inhabitants of which are released for a walk on a schedule, as if prisoners. According to Oleg, only a lawyer agreed to help them, famous for the defense of Polansky's novel, but also could not do anything due to bureaucratic resistance.

Prior to this, there was a similar conflict with his neighbors in Venice ... Oleg describes colorfully, as in front of the stunned Japanese tourists, clicking on the cameras, his handcuffs, with the polls bandnicked by a boat on the Grand Channel. In prison, he stayed only a few days, and from Venice - "This is not a city, but a cemetery, what to do there?" - moved to Rome. "The best years of our children were held in hell, he now complains now. - I am a Russian man, why do I need their values?"

"I basically refuse to arrange shares here, participate in artistic life. You can criticize Russia only from the inside, and not sitting in the West," said Oleg. Everything that happens in European art, he does not like ...

Disappointment in the West led to the fact that Oleg and his wife became wonderful to what was happening in Russia. "Most of all, the wolf is recognized," they dream of returning to their homeland. " "If I was told - sit down in a taxi and go to the airport, I would not even make things to collect."

But it is impossible to return: Oleg - in the international wanted list, goat - in the federal. And where to go with three young children? The relatives are not interested in their fate, a significant part of friends turned away, there is no place to live.

"Such freedom, as in Russia, no anywhere"

"Oleg, - flavored wolf, - Putin's wisdom praises, "Ideally beat" Liberals in 2013. In his opinion, Putin came with his enemies gently, "so much deceic care was in these decisions!". A reminder of the fate of Udaltsov (also supporting the annexation of the Crimea), Oleg Navalny and Boris Nemtsov does not impress him - all this Western propaganda. Oleg remembers his stay in prison in Russia. "This is one of the best events in my life. I had three or four radiant memories, and one of them is a prison." For the years spent in the European hell, the Motherland began to seem to him the land promised. He is convinced that there is no such freedom as in Russia. "I, when I was wanted, I drove every day by a bike past the main entrance to the prosecutor's office, where we were waiting for, and nothing."

"But what to do now? Collars really in desperate position ... How to help people without documents in wanted? In Europe, they do not need anyone ... "," writes in conclusion of the wolf and does not find an answer to his questions.

The co-founder of the scandalous art group of "War" Natial Falcon appealed to the Commissioner for the Rights of the Child, Anna Kuznetsova, with a request to evacuate it to Russia from Berlin. After six years of wandering around Europe, Falcon and her husband Oleg Collars were in the desperate situation: Oleg pleased him, and Natalia herself is pregnant and with three young children freezes on the street.

The collars disappeared in Berlin after police clouds and, according to some data, is contained in the "Moabit" prison. Natalia has children aged 2 to 8 years old, they have to live on captured boats with tarpaulin riding in the Rummetsburg bay.

At the same time, asking political asylum in the EU, the founders of the "war" do not allow convictions. For the same reason, they have practically no documents on their hands or on children, and they are all out of law.

"He was arrested, alive or not, I have no information. I tried to drive a dacha to the jail Moabit - did not accept: it means it is not there? Applying lawyers - refuse to promote. And the local press does not punch, it is a propaganda reinforced concrete. I live with three children on a boat with tarpaulin walls - in order not to sit in a forward prison, waiting for the convoy to the Swiss concentration camp, where people hold two years in the storage rooms underground. There are no friends or at least some imputed acquaintances in Berlin, "writes Natalia Facebook to Facebook.

The Kuznetsova's apparatus has already reacted to the Sokol request, came with her for communication and sent a request to the consular department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, transfers the radio station "says Moscow". According to Natalia negotiators, Anna Kuznetsova plans to send a request for pardon to the President of Russia.

Recall, the Left-Device Share Study Group "War" claims to achieve in the field of conceptual protest street art. It was formed in 2007, Oleg Collars on the nicknamed thief, his wife Natalia Falcon on nicknamed the goat, Peter Verry with the obscene nickname and the hope of Tolokonnikova - Participant of Pussy Riot Punk Group.

Among the most resonant shares of "War" - "Palace Coup" with a police car, sex performance in the Timiryazevsky Biological Museum, an action with joining the FSO car, as well as an action with the image of a phallus on the casting bridge of St. Petersburg and others. Especially outdown the public, the participants of the group of "War" Elena Kostyleva in the St. Petersburg supermarket "Nakhodka", where she shoved her crop to the crotch.

At the Votorov, a criminal case was brought to insult the police and the application of violence to representatives of law enforcement agencies after March 31, 2011 he poured the urine police officers during the St. Petersburg "Marsha dissenters". In addition, there are questions and in the past shares. After that, collars and falcon with children went to the run to Europe. In Russia, they both are wanted and arrested in absentia.

However, in Europe, unusual families have quite quickly began trouble on such a scale that it is time to write an adventure drama. On some of whom, "Ridus" told in this publication. Sponsors of fans of contemporary art threw a crotch and falcon with their juvenile children to the arbitrariness of fate and they actually turned into homeless: they live where they fell, food and clothes steal in stores, wound from the country to country, regularly dealing with police, migration services and Aggressively tuned aborigines.

"I fought with the fascists in the Prague Metro, with human rights defenders in Basel, with bars, fanates from NO TAV, in Venice. Now I always wear a hammer with him, "the collars told reporters.

Police officers when checking documents several times beat Natalia in the face.

"Even a Russian cop, he would not like this to deal with a woman who has a child," she complained about the Czech media.

Falcon page on Facebook, where she tells about his misadventures, otherwise you can't call the shocking.

The dissidents and oppositionists from Russia do not burn with the desire to help the family due to the fact that the collars, bothering in Europe, made positive reviews about the activities of Vladimir Putin's president, as well as the reunification of the Crimea with Russia.

From their adventures, the shareholder issued a firm conviction that Europe "is experiencing a psychosis epidemic caused by fear for its high standard of living."

In 2010, when activists of the ART Group "War" Oleg Votorov and Leonid Nikolaev detained after the action "Palace coup", a group of Russian intellectuals was performed in their defense: Artemy Troitsky's musical critic, Andrei Yerofeev, Publisher Alexander Ivanov, Journalist Andrei Khosk, The co-owner of the bookstore "Falanester" Boris Kupriyanov, artists Alexander Kosolapov and Oleg Kulik.

Andrei Erofeev said "Ridusa", which is in the country and has not yet seen the appeal of Natalia Sokol to the Russian authorities, and therefore cannot give a comment. Andrei Lisak said that he had no time for it, "Kupriyanov said that" he doesn't know about this situation at all and cannot comment on this ", and Trinity, Ivanov, Kosolapov and Kulik were not available for comments.

"Apparently, in Europe is even worse, it turns out to live outside the system, especially with children. Therefore, disappointed in general, the family and asks for help from homeland. Its system in comparison turned out to be better, apparently. Liberals, once defended "War" now pose. But the "Vatniki" began to comment on the situation with pregnant falcon and children. Call on to return these nicked anarchists to Russia and somehow help them. Let at home they steal what "," the journalist Natalia Radulova concludes.

"The asocial behavior of the proclaimed by the" artists "is supported by the EU exclusively as" export "colonial practice. This is an obvious banality - just as a tribalism is both the hypocrisy of the European media and the "public", feeding the mentioned hundreds of laws for reforming - and immediately forgetting them about them, it is only puppets to go beyond the prescribed role, "said Researcher of the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Dyukov. In his opinion, irresponsible parents have long time to remove children.

"We are an art gang! Our idol - Andrei Monastic! ": Informal interview with a group" War "
The second part of the conversation Alexei Plutsher-Sarno with the participants of the action fucked for the heir to the bear! In the State Biological Museum. A. K. Timiryazeva Oleg Collars and Peter Verry (Art Group War)

Plouwer: Oleg, tell about yourself.

Collars: the origin of my pure Russian. My mother's peasant woman. She was born on the stove, without reaching the hospital. All relatives from the Tula region, and all the peasants. Everyone had six to ten children. My great-grandfather smoked, because he raged the rams, goats. He was exiled, despite the fact that he was not rich. The ancestors took place from the neighboring villages and were overgrown with each other for considerations of good neighborliness.

Plouwer: And father?

Collars: My Father Shakhtar. He was a builder, and then the repairman of the mines. They were sent to the mine in the event of an accident. There they spent several days of somewhat. Heroian profession. He was a commander of a small brigade of salvation. My mother considers himself smarter than his father, an intelligent. She gave birth to three children. Formally, we are a large family. All my childhood passed in the region, where the consequences of the Chernobyl accident were penetrated. We even had references that we were sacrifices. We provided small benefits. Including I had a benefit for admission to the university. I was supposed to take from other things to equal terms. It was not useful for me. Because I passed all the exams in Moscow State University on "excellent."

Plouwer: Crew something Svrasmia?

Collars: I wrote poems since childhood. And he was a famous poet in his city - Novomoskovsk Tula region. There is the largest chemical plant in Europe. And a terrible environmental situation.

Plouwer: And to Moscow State University Where did you study?

Collars: I studied in the best lyceum in the area. But I did not teach the science of natural-mathematical slope. I did not even know them on the top three. I was saved exactly writing poems. I all said like a better poet of Novomoskovsk. It sounds ridiculous. And I came to the Lyceum on the contrary from the gangster school, the worst in the city. There I was talking to the year old, and I really liked it. Fought with them. All of them are sitting now. Entertainment was two. If you are small, and I was small, you needed to climb into a confectionery factory and to overeat the chocolate barrel there and how much will take Sherbet. For some reason, chocolate rushed into the barrels. Senior hijacked mopeds. I did not get hijacked, just rode. They rode on such low-drawn frames on ball bearings, "Tackles" were called. Combed whole knightly tournaments on the wheelbarrows.

Plouwer: Poetic career scored?

Collars: I went to Eugene Rhine to the Litin Institute, being a student of the first course of philosophical. And Raine said to me in full, he should not change the philosophical faculty to literary, and I stayed at Moscow State University.

Pluter: Peter, you too tell me anything about yourself.

Verry: I am activist war. I have two nicknames - Peter's piglets and humidle. I was born in Moscow in 1987. Childhood spent in Japan. From the emigration, I was prompted to return events on December 14, 2004, when members of the NBP committed the seizure of the presidential administration. Since 2005, it is absorbed by radical activism aimed at combating a glow and symbolic economy. Commanded the action "Mordovsky Hour" in McDonalds. Before the war was a volunteer in the information department of the Museum of Cinema, where he began an assistant to the head of the film blocking department. He studied at the Philosophy of the Faculty of Moscow State University, engaged in ancient philosophy, studying the dialogues of Plato "Fedr" and "Phyble", participated in the ontological circle of "Announced" under the direction of Vyacheslav Evgenievich Dmitriev. He was a member of the theater studio "Taramraram" and the actor of the student Theater MSU "Bridge". I am responsible for the growth and development of the war, that is, for the spancy and multi-chain. Also responsible for contact with liberal and humanitarian public. Married in Nae, the interview with her already hangs in LJ, we have a ger daughter, born on March 5 of this year.

Plouwer: Why was it decided to arrange a sexy action fuck for the heir to the bear!?

Collars: It is known that all the polls enjoy sex as a way to attract attention. Both artists and environmentalists, and "nasteners". This is a common PR reception. And we are talking now that we have consisted with paints not with your palette. But you know, there are not many paints. Maybe only black and white remained in Russia. And no halftone. And there are no such volumetric multidimensional people. And there is only bad and good. Only those and these. The further you live, the more clear. And criminally look for compromises.

Plouwer: For the artist of using old funds means lack of originality, isn't it?

Collars: This is definitely not the question of the originality of the work, a unique gesture, is understandable. Modernism do not return artificially. We chose a proven way to draw attention to the problem - the problem of the absence of elementary elections. Because otherwise the attention of the so-called citizens does not concentrate. Despite the fact that they fucked in the public for this or that everywhere, it was in the coupling with the fucking states of today's state windshius, this gave the effect of an informational explosion and the subsequent roast on the network. Where the main editors do not fight. I'm sorry for all this rhetoric, but it's time to go out.

Plouwer: So you want to say that your action is a protest voice from the artistic community? Then, maybe it is because this is the only voice of the protest, he was heard by the art community himself?

Plouwer: Let's go back to art. Let's talk about the modern Russian performance.

Collars: We felt that the artistic answer to the language of the share of the share of what was happening would be centrally. In the 1990s, artists very beautifully described the situation. No one more precisely spoke about what is happening. Kulichushkin ran the dog, for example.

Plouwer: What other kulichushkin?

Collars: Coulichoshkina we call Oleg Kulik. He used to be a slices, and now sunsuats the Tsereteli. For us, he is now Koulichushkin. Previously, he was an intrigued space. He took the space and did a lot with him. Koulichushkin mulled the intrigue. And the fact that he is currently discussed with Vasya, what candles will they put, what kind of tea brewing. This is no longer a great artist Oleg Kulik. This is Koulichushkin. Apparently, Koulichushkin, like the Dean of the Mironchik, also called from above and explained that there was a discourse in Russia. And the artist spoke about God.

Plouwer: But what he has already done is still forever leaves him in the ranks of Matters of Russian sharerage. Yes, and in the future, I think he will show himself. Maybe it's just a creative crisis?

Collars: I do not argue, "Dog" is the main performance of the 1990s. When Kulichushkin undressed naked and ran into the street to bite people, it was a statement and about time, and about a person who climbed in this time, about a person who longed for the arrival of a non-advised time. This is 1994. And when a man in the desired time was, which he himself, he himself, he realized that he was lost and that was less and less human. And it prevails not that something is animal, but confusion. The domestic dog, being on the street, barks and rushes not only because it is angry, angry, but because it is trying with what can, in this case, the teeth say something. Situation with this performance: He almost came up with a brandry. He wanted to read poems in the shorts, and on the leash to lead one of his co-authors. Koulichushkin did everything differently, significantly better. In some sense, he removed the brande from this performance. And the figure of the Breneman became simply incomprehensible: why did he stand in the shorts and read the poems?

Plouwer: Usually the Performance "Man-Dog" is perceived as an image of a "Russian Wolf".

Collars: Yes, Performance with a dog, perfectly described the situation in any of its refractions. Now sometimes they talk about it as a zoofrination, about something animal, but in fact, the animal is not due to increasing aggressiveness, but by virtue of complete and sincere confusion. If you drive out a home dog to the street - and the Soviet man was still a homely creature, "she dares, and not say that she even bit someone. She is confused. This is a person who himself wanted and was in this situation, which put it on the fours of the naked. The situation was imprinted in such an artistic image.

Verry: Now we realized that again you can speak artistic images that will work.

Pluter: Kulik, by the way, rebelled against the hot conceptualism of you.

Collars: I think the protest of Koulichushkin against conceptualists was a PR protest, entirely media, - and a formal step from a shortage of its position to push off, get a vector. Habel he is on them, it's true. And what remains uninvited in the circle of "aristocrats"? But now Kulichushkinskoe huyo manifested itself completely compound. From the intrigue - in the party, the granddaughter sue. He intuitively captures that the time of working with the media, as with the material he passed, and finally came for the modern artist, it is time to work with capital. And that this finally closes the theme of humanism in art. Despite all the assimiosity of such a promise, in practice it is just started to play full sound, just ten years old. I have a herst first mean. But Koulichushkin will now not succeed: he somehow terribly agreed in his pre-tourist on Tibet.

Plouwer: Talked about Kulik, about the brand, but forgot the Avdius Terr-Ohanyana. Also honored shareholder.

Plouwer: Among the Matters of Russian Accommodation, Oleg Mavromatti is nearing.

Collars: I do not think that the extreme is the only thing that should be ridiculed. And Mavromatti is focused on this. Mavromati extremal methods declares exclusively about its own individualism. This, of course, was relevant here in the 1990s. And this is what a strange way is related to the diverse artistic figures of those years. For me, in Mavromatti's performances, a lot with "Mysteries" Herman Vinogradov. This is such an individual creativity, individual ebanism.

Plouwer: I think he sees the world. His statements seem to me deeply sincere. It differs from Garik Vinogradov's fact that Garik is a performance. And he does everything streaming, calmly, balanced. And Mavromatti - a share with rather tough and unbalanced statements. And he is straight line. He sometimes lacks completeness, but I am pleased with what he does.

Collars: He says: "I am an artist! That's my vision! I have an interesting inner world! Interesting fate! Want to listen? " I believe that such a position for the artist is quite weak. When the poet tells about his personal destiny, his poems immediately lose force. The artist should be distanced as far as possible from the specific events of his private biography and not consider them as unconditional interesting material with which you can work. He must move away from himself and go to public. Being an artist, above all, uncomfortable for yourself.
Maulromatti is a reference example of individual ebanism, which often the individualist performance was faced. Only a few cases of real overcoming such ebanism knows the history of the Russian Performance: Klichyshsky Dog, a brenor with a dollar, avedy and icons.

Plouwer: Vlad Montamo Montro also works in the genre of performance.

Collars: Yes, here Kovalev, too, Mescamaheva in the high performance adepts writes. And infinitely nice Vladika hurts such a record, and it is necessary to do with it without a blunt critical framework. Well, what is he performing, when he is emphasized by a critical position in relation to the performance and shareholding activities; When does he constantly face these classes? Vladika has one hundred percent classical vision of the arts.

Plouwer: There is a palette of sharecraft. You can choose funds. What material do you work with?

Collars: This is a question shy me. You say as if I come orders. My palette is not prepared. It seems interesting to me when the artist is distinguished from himself and dissolves in the public space. He becomes less from him, there appears more sign, public. It is a loss of bones and blood. But this loss is justified if these bones are integrated into the signs read by society.

Plouwer: Your action spawned thousands of reviews in my LiveJournal, in which hatred for modern art is manifested. People evaluate the action sometimes from the position of pure sexual, type, "Padchal!" Or "the theme of the boobs is not disclosed!". But the majority writes with disgust and anger that it is pornography, and immediately transfers the conversation to the plane to discuss the immorality of artists.

Verry: And this squall of hatred is mixed with the whole palette of public shit. This is a mixture of xenophobia and nationalism. And the past elections are pure pornography.

Plouwer: And what kind of understanding of modern art can we talk about?

Verry: This reaction has become part of the promotion and paints a very well a social situation in the country.

Collars: The public situation is something oppositive what we did. We only presented the missing a minus sign.

Pluter: That is, I correctly said that your share is a portrait of society?

Collars: Yes, it is a very correct definition.

Plouwer: Tell your favorite artists?

Collars: I like many artists. I bow to Yuri Albert, which no extremism is different. He is thin, interesting. I am delighted with such art. I have nothing against artists engaged in painting, I love to watch their pictures. I like the artist Vadim Zakharov. Zakharov worked very successfully in the genre of photoperforms. I don't know better than photoperforms. "Laski and kiss make people ugly", "elephants prevent living." This is amazing.

Plouwer: So you love conceptualists?

Collars: I like conceptualists in general. I do not build my identification, unlike Koulichushkin, on the fact that conceptualism is "not that", and the episode is "that." I believe that I am a student of conceptualists. I believe that Russian conceptualists are better than Western. Despite the fact that conceptualism is a Western phenomenon and there it began, conceptualism in the Soviet situation has gained its features and here it is stronger. The group "Collective actions" was a project of one person - monastic, and the rest, which were coming, were replaced. In this group. Why is this a group? And why is this standard of group? Because they gathered more three, and more three in Soviet times are an article already. And the monastery could not be alone, even if he was alone invented. This is a group! Not the course, not a move, namely the group! Institutionally separate unit. It turns out that we are such a gang with idols like monastic ... something like that.

Plouwer: Will you blow Russian art?

Verry: The fact that Russian art has come out of infant age is the fact; And therefore, it is possible, here I agree with your action.

Plouwer: In general, what do you think about the Russian art community?

Collars: We have never been inside this car, and many characters know only magazine publications, are not personally familiar, they are not offended, they will not even notice us, perhaps we are on the venice. And we do not associate ourselves with this Art Tus, and we are deliberately trying to remove.

Verry: We consider the shame of such an artist.

Collars: At the same time, I love many artists in absentia, I will listen to him in the soul, and somehow emphasized uncritically. Maybe they affect the impressions of the time when I studied modern art lovely, from the side.

Plouwer: There are still "curators".

Collars: they even unpleasantly talk about them. Baccachine - a long caricature character, he himself knows it. Former "gallery bastard", and now just a ridiculous pawn in secular photo reports with colebritis. To communicate with students of his course - that is, young artists of the future - it does not come to mind: these are ridiculous managers of nonsense, hoping for courses on Sovriscy as a real way out of the situation of universal usefulness. Breaks their desire and a priori readiness to speak through any topic, in the framework of any group exhibition. It seems that it is called their professionality now.

Plouwer: There is still an art journalist: Kovalev, to tar.

Collars: Kovaleva does not want to scold - only because of the scale of the work done by him. I am Tom Tom Silver Not Ponra. His desire to give a look of the era of the 1990s, mixing everything into a chronological bunch, and saddled the project: in the book through the page of Wawa da Mauromatti - applying another microporez. And this is not a picture of time. Moreover, the selection is no one, the school of Yuri Sobolev did not get into the book at all.

Verry: Yes, and the shares of dozens of other wonderful artists also did not.

Collars: Kovalev The weak texts writes, albeit detailed, and with the obsessive position of the insider, - but he did not learn in Russian - all tedious and mannerly, with a touch of Soviet art history. Eternal confusion in modernism, journalistic propellation of undisputed secondarness in the first rows.
Delet is an armor-piercing Baba of self-consuming, if it has a weak place, on the soil of a indestructible concept: often, it is often distinguished by the exciting spirit of interpretations, there is no cash state of affairs in art, but only its personal gifts.
Agunovich as a journalist made this work for which no one took. Alone, she instilled in the reader of the magazine - the office locust stretching to moderate nuts arriving from the province is an organ for distinguishing contemporary art. Now it is not in the Moscow poster, and I will be tangible.

Plouwer: tell me galleryrs?

Collars: galleys? I do not know these people! Time passed galleries. To fuck in the galleries - even if it is possible - it's just not interesting: no sensation. Work on the state institution and is decent, and for many larger it is the only straight track at all. But the gallery of the capture. Creator, plotting a new product under the format of the sheltered gallery, carrying his work there in the excitement, is a dull anachronism.

Plouwer: Your look at Andrei Erofeev?

Collars: no matter how much the intellectuals vintage intellectuals on Yerofeyev, whatever things are ministerial, - what is it for Rugan and against whom? Against the competent person among officials in modern art. Well, they will remove Andrei, and how they themselves will not focus, without versery?

Plouwer: Anatoly Osmolovsky forgot.

Collars: Osmolovsky Tolik - Very local, local personality, commensurate. The dude without education, a special plastic gift and theoretical alone inspired a whole epoch of art. If it went, it is the main figure. He began and showed how it is possible; And then there were ambitious talented creatures-artists - the Brener is a romantic poet, Koulichushkin-Intrigan, Avedea-adhesive. And soon they ran down, according to their affairs. And Tolik began to make himself a sad object of work, too,, by the way, worthy - but the current appearance of the artist shows what.

Plouwer: Why Bremen - Poet, he is an equivalent, isn't it?

Collars: Yes. The Brener is a pity, if only because of the remoteness, it seems most of its own, and his poems - above all verses. For these verses, the unpleasant type of this brand is flashed - and this poetic situation provides poems any kind of misfortune. Distinguished from young and boring Rodionov and even smaller Rodionov, in their literature ridiculous, and from all these rappers of books, waking up and falling asleep in their apartments.

Plouwer: What other stocks do you think in the near future?

Verry: I can not tell, because of the high percentage of provocations. In the Mordovian hour we were waiting for three in civilian clothes. A friend laid out in LJ Announcement of the enterprise, wander! Fucking for the heir to the bear arm! I had to change the museum - zoological on biological. With all caution in preparation, information flowed, and not only museum protection, but also nomo. And everyone was informed about the shares in detail. The guard warned without unnecessary phrases: "Now the avant-gardeists will come here naked taking pictures."

Collars: Just say that we will continue to acquaint the audience with the new hero of the nation with a bearish.

Verry: And we are going to ban the metropolitan clubs.

Pluter: Thanks to your art gang. Much has become clear.
