We are pleased to announce the publication of Oleg Kulik's exhibition catalogue entitled Golden Fleece. The catalogue gives an example of good practice in the regeneration of industrial heritage spaces..

The publication is part of the RESCUE project. As part of the project, partners from Italy, Germany, Slovenia, and Austria enable high school students and local people to explore the history of abandoned industrial sites to jointly design how to turn them into sustainable spaces for cultural activities.

»According to the critics, Oleg Kulik is one of the most significant Russian artists of our time. His performances, used as a means of symbolically redefining the current space, attempt to blur the narrative borderline between the individual and the general, between Being and Essence, and deliberately abandon the human horizon by means of a conscious action, only to truly disclose the possibility offered by the emotional-behaviorist vocabulary of »domesticated animal«. Through his art, he comments on Russia and the West, politics and power, and humankind’s place in and relationship to nature. He began his career as a curator at the Regina Gallery in Moscow, where his unconventional exhibitions and approaches instantly caught the attention of the public.««
